I agree with Hugh. And speaking of Forum T-shirts, last year I was wearing my

Frank Luke shirt on a hot, balmy Arizona winter (!) day when a clerk in the postal orifice asked me "Who's he?" Uncharacteristically, I replied in a level, even voice, "The man for whom they named Luke AFB."
"Oh. You wanted how many stamps?"
Incidentally, it looks as if LAFB probably will go away. The corrupt politicians (Dems are bad; Republicans are worst) in this state are determined to turn that area into condos. Where the blue-suiters will park the 56th TTW is anybody's guess. Hmmm...lessee...if I had to find ramp space for 8 F-16 squadrons, what congressional district would I choose?
