For any of you who might be interested, LTC Harold B. Hanig, USAF-Ret (of troop
carrier and air rescue fame) aka George Z. Bush has been admitted into the
hospital for open heart surgery. He was being worked up for a valve
replacement, and after today's heart cath, gets to add a triple bypass to the
valve job. It all happens Wednesday.

As you know, he's much too argumentative to die but this isn't going to be much
fun. I'm headed down to be with him in the morning.

All my best to "da man." We old and crusty types must be preserved.

Valve job, lube, rotate the tires and good to go in about a week.

Say "hi" for me.

Do a good job, or Art will just wear him out again.

Don't give the nurses too much Hell, George.

Please pass on my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Best to him, and hope he gets well and back on his feet soon.

Thanks Jay, even though it's almost routine these days, it must still be a
tense time for the family.



Please pass on my thoughts and prayers for Harold and we look forward to
seeing him back on deck as soon as poss.



If I can track down a virgin in time, we'll organise a pagan sacrifice,
just to be on the safe side.

I'm up for that (if you'll pardon it)

Interesting how many people use noms de net (and with good reason, no doubt).
There was a year or two ago the son of an extemely famous MAC-SOG vet who
posted for a bit before entering active duty. I know his father and figured it
out.
From evidence in his posts, I think there is a retired general, War College
instructor and advisor to the late Sen. Henry Jackson as member of the Senate
Armed Services Committee who posts here.
Then there is the B-52 pilot whose name I think I know based on his comments
about his master's thesis. A well respected guy he is, and probably heading
for a long and distinguished career.
Then there are some others.
Usenet is interesting because it allows people to let it all out and say what
they really feel. But in many cases, doing that under your real name is not
wise.

As for old Hal Hanig, good luck to him. He is a porkypine fresh off the tree,
all right. But he is one of the rare ones who served in three wars. And he
doesn't feel the need to relentlessly boast about the fact or denigrate others
who haven't done so. Lift a glass of Jack to him.
