Memorable Incidents: Band trips and track meets - Most of them would have qualified as "Incidents"!

Since High School: Graduated Miss. State U. in 1967, spent next 23 years flying transports and rescue/special ops helicopters in the Air Force, with assignments in the U.S., Thailand, Okinawa and Germany. Retired in 1990 as Lt Col, and started new career with American Airlines. Flew the 727, DC-10, MD-80, MD-11, and now fly Boeing 777 from Dallas to London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Tokyo. Due to retire from American in 2005 if it lasts that long! Airline career has been pretty tame to date, but was shot at over 5 countries and shot down in 1 during AF career (Laos, 1972). Survived 2 crashes, a shootdown, and an aircraft burning up around me without a stitch, broken bone, or hospital admission until August 2001, when I had 6-artery bypass surgery and had all of the above.

Future Plans: Hang out at AA until retirement/airline liquidation, then start another career, TBD.

Memorable Teachers: Undoubtedly, #1 is "mercy" Miller, but probably for all the wrong reasons. Royce Ladner impressed me as an effective teacher to be so young.
