My name is Robert Scott. I just bought a CMP P-40 1.40 ARF. Today, February 27, is my birthday.
Today, ace fighter pilot and multiple-medal-winner General Robert Scott died at age 92. He is best known for flying a P-40 in China with the AVG Flying Tigers.`
None of this means a thing, but it seemed a little interesting to me. :-)

Bob:
Is there anyone who hasn't read and loved "God is My Copilot"? That book was the subject of my first book report, and I still have that very book on my shelf. I hope my grandson will read it soon.
By the way, the subject of my second book report was "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo". I wonder how many other guys born in the 40's treasured those two books. (That one fell apart about ten years ago.)
Thanks for that news item, Bob.

The occult.
Hmmm... I used to listen to a lot of Blue Oyster Cult, but as far as the occult goes, I don't dabble in it. :-)

You don't need to, Bob. It will dabble with you.

-------- this message prepared on a OUIJA board ----------
The guy's been dead for 30 years? Is CNN airing reports of his death for lack of any "factual" news out of the Middle East?
and I thought it was SERLING....
"The OTHER Kevin in San Diego" wrote in message news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com...
It is Serling... my typo. And that's no biggie compared to: DIED IN
1975?!?!?!?I must truly be in the Twilight Zone. Did I confuse him with Don Knotts?
Never mind, desmobob
Yeah, little error in timing there. :)
lol.. The image of Barney Fife saying, "....in the twilight zone" cracks me up.
