Congrats Old Shp,

You are taking over at a very interesting time for the CAF. I hope we can turn the financial problems around and get back to filling the Airsho' instead of cutting back every year.

You can't see this, but I'm kowtowing before my computer monitor. :prayer:

Much success in your new endeavor!

I'll try to live up to the fine example set by Taylor on being the offspring of said Chief of Staff.

Congrats, Dad.

No problem. Just get you an airplane project and do a fantastic job of restoring it, like Taylor has done. I know where there's a B-23 that would be perfect for you to "one up" young Mr. Stevenson. :wink:

I'm not sure if I should offer my congratulations or condolences, sir. You have taken on a great job and I know you will do well in it. You are a deserving successor to Mr. Stevenson.

As always, if there is anyway I can be of help, don't hesitate to call.
