“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

116th reunion breakfast


Just got back from a trip to Atlanta where I attended the quarterly breakfast in Marietta, hosted by my old Georgia Air Nat'l Guard squadron, the 116th.
I retired from the GANG in '96 during the unit’s conversion from
F-15's to B-1's and move to Macon and though I'm in touch with a few of them on e-mail, I haven't seen any of these weapons-load guys since then.
It was great to catch up and nobody's changed much; the same funny stories, the same bawdy humor, and the same hilarious personal insult banter.
Apparently, Bill(standing to my right) sent the word out that if Ed Phillips is coming all the way from B'ham, the rest of you bums have no excuse not to show up. So of the 75-100 people there, the Weapons Load shop was well represented.
