I'd Like To Say I Was Smart

Unfortunately, The Suit Is So Stiff, I Can't Do This With Two Hands, But I'm Going To Try A Little Sand-trap Shot Here.

But When I Was Selected, After My Very First Tour Of Squadron Duty, To Become One Of The Youngest Candidates For The Test Pilot School, I Began To Realize, Maybe You Are A Little Bit Better.

We Also Knew It Would Be Difficult, Because Of The Financial Condition Of The Family, For Me To Go To College.

We Worked With The Engineers In The Design And Construction And Testing Phases In Those Various Areas, Then We Would Get Back Together At The End Of The Week And Brief Each Other As To What Had Gone On.

Later, In The Early Teens, I Used To Ride My Bike Every Saturday Morning To The Nearest Airport, Ten Miles Away, Push Airplanes In And Out Of The Hangars, And Clean Up The Hangars.
