We hunted deer and elk, played golf and fished. I spent my first anniversary with Central with Johnny in AMA. 
I flew F/O and let Wilbanks stay home. When we got to AMA we went to a Quiet Birdmen's "wing ding" and met Frank Hand 
from the FAA at GSW there.

Jake, thanks for the info re Wayne H.   
I have had good intentions of advising you  that we lost another CN/FL ex.  
John (Johnny) Wright, former Capt who retired in 1984 died Jan. 31.  
Johnny was 77 years old & one of the really good guys.  
Check with you later,
