david rose, and i, a defrocked and now decrepit retired aa airplane driver, used to solve a major portion of the world's problems whilst drinking tea, and eating trader joe's chocolate chip cookies at the hangar when i came out from the sticks of tennessee to visit my kids and grandkids amd gramddogs in san diego. stopped there almost every time and must have solved hunnerds of prollems, laughing at the resta the world as we giggled our way through the better part of an hour. enjoyed many hours with that man as my copilot as we droned through the sky in our jet propelled bugsmashers of various vintage. i am most distressed that he cut our sessions short, but it was just his time. my time is coming too, and if i get to go through this all again in another place, i'm gonna look up captain rose when i get there, as i miss him already. and ms kay, if you read this, i know for sure that you had to have lived an interesting life with that man, he may have given you some gray hair, but face it, you were gonna get it anyway, and this way you got to share lif with a man all the rest of us thought was an absolute super dude. g.g. pence
