While we were at Montague last summer, I noticed that whenever you
leaned back to survey the sky (in your official capacity as an
advisor), something on, in, or near you went "klunk!" I thought it
indelicate to mention it on the ramp. I'm glad, though, to see you got
it sorted out.


That Klunk would be my Martin - Baker back, 26 degrees this morning and it's
stiff again. When old Deny and I used the nylon- descent- option, the charge
was enough to get one over the tail doing mach 2, circa 1967, they lowered the
charge after that, because nobody was attempting to get out at M2, but
everybody was getting a Martin - Baker back.

God Bless Martin - Baker, they invited me to celebrate their 2000th save, but I
was unable to attend because of another commitment in SEA.
