If I remember correctly, cLyDe was an F4 Phantom pilot and saw plenty of
action in Vietnam.

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.)
