Hi Pand,
You're in good company, as I'm on sabbatical as well.

I wish you all the best and hope this finds you in good health
and spirits.
It was -always- a distinct pleasure to fly with you and I thank you
for the friendship and comraderie as well as the knowledge you
imparted to me over the years.
You always were, and remained a true gentleman throughout
your time in Aces High and I thank you for the fine example
you set.
Best regards,
Oddball
