Interesting story. Thanks!
I think I can relate because I'm an aviator and I used to have a crash pad in El Segundo right across the street from Bob Hoover's office. We used to meet in the street sometimes as we were coming & going and we'd stop and talk about airplanes. Anyone who knows aviation knows how special Bob Hoover is and how lucky I feel to be able to say, "I've met and have spoken with Bob Hoover."
Sorry, I know this is a gun board but I enjoyed your post and just thought I'd tell you I think I know how you feel to have that connection with history.
Cheers,
Oly
