Dave Long over Lock Haven in 1948
 
I had lunch today with Rob Long, Don Shearer and John Lowery - went to Pottstown for some growlers.  While in Rob's office, I admired the above photo of his dad, Dave Long, in his Midget Mustang, so he gave me a digital copy for my website (above).  Dave was killed in a plane in 1950, but today there are hundreds of his design still flying.  In fact, #67 above is still operational.  Neat, huh? kp 10/8/2009

PS: I never met Rob's dad, but his mom, Barbara Long, was really nice.  She was County Treasurer for many years. 

Hey Rob, remember the gig at the Centre Hills Country Club!  Ha!

Hey Mick . . . that tie hurts my eyeballs . . .
Cool
Nice plane though!

Mickey . . . remember the gig at the Lewisburg Penitentiary Officers Club?  You could really book 'em.  Just happens that a few years later, I knew a guy who worked in the Pen, Spence Craybill; and later yet I had a friend who's brother worked there too, sort of . . .

Speaking of prisons, now here's a guy who can get you a tour of one, or even arrange for a stay, short term or long term.

I would put a photo of Mike here, but can't find one on the web - he's keeping a low profile.  I remember our first day in algebra class at Lock Haven Junior High, second floor, Miss Z.  I don't think Mike lasted a week in Miss Z's class, and he took off for the Hill School.  But I was brave and stuck it out - and - did better than expected.  I landed a D- . . . ha!  And I'm here to say that I never once, not once, in my whole entire lifetime, needed to use algebra!  But maybe that's why Mike is the Judge, and I'm not?
(Solving for the unknown, get it?  Judge . . . never mind.)
