Well I appreciate the invite to the group. I know I have been in touch on occasion with some of you through work addresses but I think this is real nice to see where everyone is. I am still up at Langley working for Lockheed Martin and running the BLUE FLAG Exercise program in A3J. I picked this up after working  from the TRSS up here my final 3 years before retirement. It is good steady work but I am still in the military in many ways and feel a need sometime to be free of things and move on.    Nancy and the kids are still up here with me. Two have fallen out of the nest on their own and I still have a ten year old. We will be the oldest parents when she graduates from high school. I sometime may get to go back to Barksdale this year and will let you guys know if I do. This place is still crazy (housing market wise) and we have not been able to settle on a home yet. I know California has us beat but the sticker shock of moving from KBAD up here still smarts alot. I run into alot of old head bomber guys up here and will pass them on to you when I do.

    As for the remeberance of 911 I remember many of us were sitting on the ramp up at Minot will full loads on board. Remember the joy of gettig to still real BR alert while the Minotians got to go home. I remeber finally getting to be realeased from the Alert shack and going on base to get some hot wings. What  a fun ten days.

    No news fromm the fallout of the missile issue. We here at the all consuming command have heard of no other heads coming off. I do know that COMACC went up to Minot the other day. Not sure why. If I get word I’ll pass along.
