He died in 1928. What the heck are you smoking Slate?  :confused:

I think Slate was under the impression that he was still alive, as the OP was wishing a dead man Happy Birthday.



 :salute, brave men to fly back then!

Kinda hard to tell sarcasm on a forums... And I quoted Red because he was the one that asked a question.
