A good Story:1

Post by tjhickey » Thu May 24, 2012 1:06 pm

Some years ago on another forum that I used to read, there was a fellow named R. S. Hoover. Not the famous WW2 pilot, but a guy who was a pretty good writer, and one who had spent years in the avaiation game. He is gone now, and I recently found this story that he wrote some years ago. At the time I really liked it, and copied it and kept it on the computer. I will post it here one page at a time. I hope some of you enjoy it.

Tim,
Thanks for the story. It really gives you a sense of pride and encouragement. I have almost completed the inventory on my recently purchased Rebel 666 and am a little nervous. I imagine those workers felt the same way. But I know I can do it...
