Clyde, you and I are about the same age, I believe.  I'm 58 and born in 1950, 
same as you.  That tells me that you probably started your career in the 
military, just like I tried to do.  I know you saw action but I can't remember 
of you were flying fixed wing that early on.  I seem to remember that you flew 
helicopters.  Did I get that wrong?

Anyway, folks can try to beat on you as much as they please - even when you 
have a one-digit typo - but you were up there saving lives before many of us 
were born!  Jump forward 40 years; hundreds if not thousands of people still 
put their lives in your hands every week.

And despite your harsh comments and terse writing style, the few times that we 
have met (Indy., Magny Cours, etc.) you have been nothing less than fun and 
kind.  Yea, I think you're a pretty good guy. :-)  (Not that anyone gives a 
damn about my opinion either.)
