Good interview Jim. Not that many of us can look that self assured. Look forward to chatting with you from time to time. I'm going to toss you a Friend request.
In reference to your comments re: Keith Brewer, I agree with everything you said particularly about understanding his emotional frustration. Having stumbled upon his comments however, I needed a way to gently remind him not only of the forum in which he was commenting, but the wording of his comments.
Having survived Cancer twice myself, as well as a CABG (Quad), I know only too well that the after-affects can be and mostly are, a sense of anger and mood swings to name a couple, both of which are not necessarily felt by the LUCKY SURVIVORS! (talk about irony . .) I was concerned that Keith, like me was unaware that we now have/had a greater vulnerability to stressful life-event-elicited depressive symptoms. Anyway, I'm on hold for Keith, so it seems.
BTW, Congratulations on your QDJ award. From what I have heard and what I've seen on this site, it was very well deserved.
Sorry for the delay. I have replied as promised, but Firefox has twice blown me off the page, making me lose over 30 mins work in one case. I have some business to take care of and then I'll type my comments in Notepad and paste them into this wall.

I was a Hornet when the squadron was fixed wing, Aux - 1959 - 1964.
At the time I was flying a single Otter on wheel/floats but our motto still was "Our Sting Is Death" Go figure.

Hi Jim,
