I had the Honor of knowing RT and became friends.Super nice guy and always made time for people. We saw each the last time at the scottsdale reunion back in the mid 90s and he was dying of cancer then. I think of him often and hope his kids are well.

A very cool guy. I love some of the shots of those guys pretending to be cowboys and stuff. Really funny.

Brad Smith and I are good friends.
Our relationship with the AVG assoc is to say the least shakey.

Why is that?
Because we're open minded and look to sources outside
the AVG 'family' to look for new research, thoughts and ideas concerning
the history and combat record of the AVG.
I other words were not hero worshiping yes men incapable of independent thought

Ah, I get it. Some people just don't like independent thinking. Great work as usaul Jack. Since we are on the subject of AVG, did you ever see the pic I mentioned about an AVG pilot standin on his P-40 with a real tiger?
