My time in NAM

Not the Asian country, but that often overlooked local place:

living, loving, and saying goodbye

i cant wait till this year ends. it was one of profound loss and sorrow. in june, my father in law passed after a five year battle with prostate cancer. while we never were able to leave a bitter part of the past behind, it was still sad. though my wife was able to reconcile with him after many years of estrangement, he woul…

My father knew Paul Tibbets, who flew the Enola Gay. I plan to take my niece there sometime when she visits. New Mexico offers such an interesting blend of nuclear science, military history, and unbeatable old west history. If I only had a time machine and a good used P-38.

Eclipse Aviation......how ironic. A few years ago, I sent the company a well written email, with my resume attached, as I was looking for something new to do in a new environment. Since the aircraft and nuclear industry have a lot in common, I thought I would make a good addition. However, never heard back.....but I have to admit that my approach was a bit unorthodox... in that I wasn't applying for an advertised position. Of course now, I'm doing some work in Southern Cal, but would like to see the place sometime. I'm in and out of town irregularly, but perhaps we can keep in touch and maybe do a tour sometime. Hope all is well in the Land of Enchantment.

Maybe you'll see it up in the air sometime.
