Well Dave,
You are right but I am not wrong. I guess the difference is that I 
remembered the damn thing from high school physics. You quoted the calculus 
derived variation that I didn't get to use until later, much later. For 
some reason 32 feet per second per second gravitational constant has been 
with me a long time, (kinda like my 03-A3) and I am loath to give it up.
