wrote: GI Bill? Probably not, but that was the best thing ever to happen to general aviation. Your remarks on the GI Bill are right on target. The U.S. is only now ceasing to see the economic benefits of the GI Bill, passed I believe in 1944! Indeed, the benefits may still be operative, as the grandchildren of the WWII vets obtain an education that they might never have aspired to, had not the old man gone to college on the GI Bill. Not only my university, but even my high school (Brewster Free Academy, Wolfeboro, New Hampshire) was swollen to capacity by a significant number of "vets". Indeed, the student body at the University of New Hampshire actually shrank each year that I was there, as the vets worked their way through the system and graduated. Higher education was never the same again. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com the blog www.danford.net |
