Hallo mr. Davis.
If the following question isn't too elementary, I'm just a beginner in alg.
top., could you please post it on the list ?

Question:

If X and Y are topological spaces, not homotopy equivalent to singletons,
such that
                                            X wedge Y

has the homotopy type of a wedge of spheres, does it follow that X and Y are
homotopy equivalent to wedges of spheres ??

Thanks in advance Greer.
