No,I didn't know Elder or Choteau,they were a bit before my time.I started
working there in '85..My father was there since '71 till his retirement in '94
so I'm sure he remembers those guys.How about Jim Foley?Another good guy..I did
know Paul Metz though,he had some things to say regarding the whole ATF deal..I
seem to remember something about,"They picked the heavier,lower powered
combo,can you believe it?"Apparently he was a big fan of PAV-2,the GE powered
'23..Kevin O'Mara is still around I'm sure,he was in F-18 Marketing at the time
of my departure in '97.He had some great stories to tell for sure..Wasn't
Harley Hall the last guy shot down(officially at least) in Vietnam?

Have a good one--E.B.
