Rick & Bruce

Rick, Bruce, and I flew mighty F-4E Phantoms at Clark Air Base in the Philippines way back when, before the nearby volcano erupted and covered the runways in thirty feet of ash.

Rick stayed in to fly Stealth fighters. Now he flies for JetBlue, passing through Dulles on a layover. Bruce is a computer geek like me out in Manassas.

Together we defended America against the Soviet menace. Not one commie bomber reached California while we were on the job, buddy.
