Fireman0174,

Thanks for the stories. He was a genuinely great guy to me when I started out flying. I was there when Jim Jr. was killed with three friends near Danbury at a too young age. Saddest day in my career. I last saw him in St Petersburg, he was still fun even if aging. He left the Navy after punching his XO in the NAS Pensacola club. Started in last days of the -3 and finished on the -10.
