Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Just my opinion, was: Airbus

[Red5hilser (Red5hilser]

Hey rick: You're 58 years-old now? Aren't you getting to be a little long  in 
tooth to be acting as cLyDe's Spokes-Model? <g>
 
BTW, I've met our old pal cLyDe too, and I agree with you. He's a  really 
neat and knowledgeable Tifosi, and I know of no one who thinks any  different.
 
As you have seen, cLyDe can be rather terse and sometimes pithy in his  
comments, but he's speaking from the heart and means no real harm. Some List  
members, including Shitbox (his term) Bubba enjoy the friendly give-and-take  
with 
him.
 
After flying F4's in Viet Nan, I think that he's fully capable of coming to  
his own defense, with no help from the peanut gallery. (no offense  intended).
 
Yer pal, Shitbox <g> Bubba

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.)

rick
