That in no way diminishes my admiration for a true grit guy. Happy birthday -- and many more. Just so you know that we're all nuts (to various degrees) I decided a couple of years ago finally to try to obtain a license so I could fly my own plane. It's been a tough go, with many interruptions, but I think I'm nearly there. I owe much to a close friend, fellow ex-sports car-racer, who actually makes his living flying a T-6 (giving old codgers like us an hour-or two thrill). It's difficult to explain (particularly to wives) why it's all so important. Best regards -- and many, many more, Dave. Somewhere I have a roll of IID shots (my first Leica) I took in 1956 while at Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, discovering what it was all about in a jet trainer -- my first barrel rolls. Only to find out later that 20/20 eyesight -- without correction -- was a prerequisite. :-( On Monday, May 30, 2005 at 1:22 PM tedgrant@shaw.ca (Ted Grant) wrote: |http://www.solio.us/gallery/tedgrant
