Well howdy CDR Brad, how are you? It's great to hear from you again. Yeah, I'm still alive and kicking, believe it or not. Big Fred is still kicking too and made Captain a year or so ago, believe it or not. His photos are in the "CG Friends" gallery. Don

Nice to see you are still alive.

Great photos, bring back lots of memories for me. I was born in Miami in 56, went to SW Miami High school and I also worked for Eastern Airlines from 81 until they shut down. Did alot of computer work at the Airport for them, maybe we ran into each other at some time. Great photos. charles_martin@embarqmail.com

What a walk down memory lane. I went to DuPuis Elementary, Palm Springs Junior and Hialeah High (graduated 1968). Also worked for Eastern Airlines until they went under,,,,so a lot of your photos are right out of my memories. Thanks.

Chris, I'll send you a private e-mail about that later today. Don
