I suppose we need to talk Ray into letting someone design an
offical PSUBS plaque for each one.   Then we need to vote.

What's kind of interesting is that a airplane pilot friend of mine
reports that all the pilots he knows got started by watching 
movies!  They seldom read books about airplanes and have
the fire lit.

I'd be willing to bet cash that neither he nor his family have
any idea just how much influence he had.   Captain Beach
was one of the men I wanted to meet.

Did you ever meet him?

(For the ultimate in obscure and oblique links: it seems that
my birth parents graduated from high school with one of
Captain Beach's sons.)
