Ron Clay Timeline and Summary

In addition to Alan's memories and general background info, Ron enters into the narrative in just a couple of places:
Alan calls Ron from his hotel room in Jeddah after seeing depressing news about NASA on TV (last manned spaceflight).
Ron trolls Alan again about his role in offshoring American jobs by mentioning how the Chinese are now building bridges in the U.S.
Alan tells Zahra the story about "survival" camping in the woods with his dad. He means it as a positive memory, but Zahra is kind of appalled.
