You guys were right -- thanks!

Well, to those of you who told me "You should publish some of your posts"
over the years, I can only say a big "Thanks!"

I took your advice, submitted an article to one of the aviation mags (about
our flight into Dayton last spring), and -*voila*- I am now sitting on the
first $75.00 check that my (formerly useless) English degree has ever
(directly) generated!

So what if it's only beer money -- what the heck -- I had written it anyway
for this group! :-)

Best of all, now you're a "Published Author." If nothing else, it'll look
good in the obit someday (far off in the future).
Congrats.

Which one ? (Some of us don't subscribe to all of them...)

Actually it's a new one (the inaugural issue, no less!) called "Flying Life
Magazine". I've received a tear-sheet from the printed article, and the
check, but I haven't actually seen the magazine yet.

Congrats, Jay!

I really think that "Final Flight" post should go somewhere also.

Cheers,

Congrats, Jay!

Thanks! I'm pretty tickled myself. (And I took that $75 and went out and
bought myself something REALLY exciting -- a 12-volt-to-110-volt converter
so I can run my laptop in the plane and at OSH. Woo-woo!

I really think that "Final Flight" post should go somewhere also.

Yeah, I thought so too -- but the editor sent me back a list of things they
wanted me to change/expand/delete, so I filed it away... If I have time
someday I'll send it to the other mags...

I second that emotion. Any post that gets a tear here can't require that
much editing. Maybe just needs the right pub.

Congrats Jay!

Jay, you just don't realize how useful your liberal education has been
to you. If it was a *good* liberal education, it taught you to think,
a skill that is useful to anyone, even a pilot.

I know, Vince. I may be the last man in America that actually WANTS my
children to receive a liberal arts education. (Of course, Mary would have a
bird about this. Her B.S. degree has always paid off directly, while mine
has always been completely indirect.)

I'm firmly convinced that a liberal arts degree teaches one to tactically
and strategically think. This is truly far more useful in the "real" world
than the straight-line logic of the sciences -- although I admire them, too.
