“Happy Friday”—-The series on TRANSOCEAN was a lot of fun me and I hope you enjoyed the information we provided. I encourage you to go to their website, as well as the others with TAL information, and read the personal stories and browse the photo gallery. After you have finished that take the time to get a couple of the books found here— www.taloa.org/fame.html —and dig a little deeper. I recently read the book by Ralph Lewis, “By Dead Reckoning”, and really enjoyed the read. I will search out some of the other books as well and recommend you do the same.

I am going to take a week off for my daughter’s wedding, share a couple more articles on current events, and then I will begin the Delta story. Delta has a rich history and I think you will enjoy the look back. As always—take care, fly safe, and remember to protect the interests of those who will follow in your footsteps—be a “Gatekeeper.”

Have a good weekend.
