I also met Ed
Mahler and Rod Joslin, obviously because of Nick.
I can never see "Cheers" without thinking of Nick

I don't remember the others, but I knew Big Ed and of course knew Rod
from his acro work also. Both were great pilots. Ed of course bought
the farm on a photo shoot when the tail came off his bird. I lost
track of Joslin and don't know where he ended up.
Ed and Bobby Fisher and Corky Fornof formed the first BD5 jet team.
Cork and I still communicate sometimes. He's living out in Houston and
still doing movie work. His dad Bill of course went in at Quonset
Point the same day as the Cape May Race disaster down at the shore.
I lost two friends in the T6 race that day; 5 went in. REAL bad day!!
