     I have confirmed the ID of this star, and it looks reasonable, since
it appers in the Stephenson reddened star list (1992AJ....103..263S) as
well as the MSX catalogue, 2MASS, and IRAS---all with accordant positions.
The star is not in USNO-A2.0 since it is invisible on the POSS-I blue plate.
     The 2MASS photometry shows no uncertainty listed for the K-band
magnitude, and this is a sign either of saturation or that there was some
error in the data-reduction.  Thus the J-K color is suspect, and the fact
that it is not red is not significant.
