Different Long story short: 30 years ago, my squadron invited Yeager to be a guest speaker at a dinner.

By chance, we ran into Yeager's old squadron mate Bud Anderson.
Anderson did it for the price of a steak dinner at the O-club.
I had just finished reading "The Right Stuff."
Yeager went from Hero to Zero.
