I'm glad the board is back in service. Just saw an obit in the paper of another ex-yardbird dieing. So I'll post that info.
The reason I used the Dominator was to date the time you were up there, and it was a VERY long time ago.... Dominator grounded in March 1961, you were still in your 20's (like that was possible..)
