  • Thanks Ollie. Much appreciated as well as your insightful contributions to the thread.
    Ollie, I am a Republican of Nixon, Ford, and Goldwater. The last thirty years have been a real disappointment for me as I have seen my party dragged through the mire, scandal, and disaster. If I am not your kind of Republican, cool, but I will say this -- you have not been an idiot here like the far right coonloons. You love America, and it shows.
    And a salute to you and your service to what I hope will remain our great country. I just noticed your age, I'll be 56 on the 22nd.
    Hey Ollie, did I tell you that Ollie was my dad's name? He was a 29 year career U. S. Air Force Lt. Colonel. He wanted to go to 30 but retired early when he saw his name on a list to go to Vietnam to flight instruct South Vietnamese pilots. He had just spent 2 years in Okinawa and Mito, Japan without us(didn't want to disrupt our schooling, 6 of us) and he couldn't believe they wanted to send him there in his 29th year. That cost him making full Colonel. He refused to use "Lt. Colonel, retired" anywhere. He became a chief pilot for Riviana Foods flying a Sabreliner and never looked back.

    Oh, I'm a he, I just liked the shot of Lady Gaga for my avatar.
