I had the pleasure of a day flying with Gen. Armstrong in the copilots seat in 1970. I wasn't aware that he had been one of the main movers in the 46 program, but despite having forgotten more than I knew about the aircraft, he was quite tolerant of a young Lieutenant that was convinced he was the best phrog phlyer around. A gentleman in every way. RIP

Reason To ATTEND Reunion's
[FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="3"]Its a good reason to attend reunions because you get to see others you served with and to meet the many others that are your Brother marines. Everyone have a good Marine birthday and think about us ALL. God Bless you ALL![/SIZE][/FONT]

JJ, its good to get to go to reunions and get to visit with the top Brass. This last Squadron reunion, had I gotten to go, I could have had the evening meal with my Gunner, and Gen. Jones. It was a good night my Gunner told me. Semper Fi, and READY-APP.
