The CEO had invited a group of airline executives to Seattle to see the airliner. The test pilot, Tex Johnson, took her up flew over a huge crowd watching a hydroplane race, and performed a barrel role. The next day Mr. Allen called Tex. "What are you DOING?" Tex replied, "Selling your airplane." and you know the rest, the jet age was born.

The food, the southern hospitality, the history, the gorgeous view of the Mississippi from my hotel room - it was all wonderful beyond all expectations.

Toronto also world class museums, theatre and unique neighbourhoods that I hope you can capture with your wonderful artistic eye! I do hope the Reds put together a fun panel for next year's B'con! It would be great to see you all together! Game show?

You are a bright spot wherever you go and more fun than the law should allow. Your photographs reflect your artistic, spirited nature. I loved going to the art galleries with you, but now I wish I'd gone to that photography studio you visited, too. The painting you bought in one of the art galleries is wonderful, and I'd enjoy seeing where you put it in your house. I ate many delicious meals in New Orleans, but one of my favorite was breakfast with you at Daisy Dukes on our last morning there.<br /><br />Key West remains one of my favorite cities, and the food there is always amazing. My favorite dessert in the whole world is in Key West at the Firefly on Petronia St. The chef's grandmother's recipe for Key Lime Cake is worth the trip to magical place.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-86711893956013937862016-10-02T14:39:41.465-04:002016-10-02T14:39:41.465-04:00Hank, Thank You!

At one of those shows, many years ago - here in Boone, NC, I bought a pink baseball cap that has Willie's name embroidered across the front. Somehow it became the hat from which I would draw names for various give-aways I would have at my blog, Meanderings and Muses. The tradition continues. As does Willie.
