I have a meeting at 2:30 with an American hero.

[tiger roach]

LOL. Maybe his X-1 ran out of gas.

He's prolly just held up circling is namesake airport in some flying death trap.

It's 2:56, and General Yeager has yet to arrive. :(

Maybe he's there but the rest of you need a few minutes to catch up.

 

[Prages]

So, I didn't get to meet General Yeager, but his wife came in. He's 92 years old and has been very busy the last few days, so he's resting. :(

She was very pleasant, but I did find it odd that she referred to her husband as General Yeager.

He used to be faster.

He told her to say that instead of "Chucky"

I'd love to shake that man's hand.

A real American hero, that's for sure....

 

[Prages]

I shook his much younger wife's hand. It wasn't quite the same. :(

 

[Dudeman1967]

So did you set up the Yeagers with some mutual funds, some money markets accounts, maybe some CDs, a few LPs and maybe a couple Gary Blanchard cassette tapes?

They should be set up for life.

That depends on what you shook her hand with....

a LOT of general's (admiral's) wives refer to their husbands as "general" or "the general".....it's one of those status things that wives do.....lots of wives refer to their physician husbands as Doctor.

no shit, back in my service days, i had wives identify themselves as misses major (last name). seriously.

No wait, a bottle of 2 buck chuck and some Jaegermeister.

How much does 2 Buck Chuck cost nowadays?

You should have asked her what it is like to live with the first man to walk on the moon.

How much younger? He's 92, does she meet the half-your-age-plus-7 rule?

 

[Denverdave]

How much younger? He's 92, does she meet the half-your-age-plus-7 rule?

This is the real question we want answered.....

But actually at 92 I'm glad he is still getting around fairly well, even if you did not get to meet him.

 

[smurfco]

Sitting in his office, he's the man I love!

 

[Prages]

How much younger? He's 92, does she meet the half-your-age-plus-7 rule?

She's 57.

So 1/2 of 92 is 46, plus 7 is 53.

So, she doesn't quite qualify under the 1/2 + 7 rule.
