Been skipping over this sticky thread for some time,.............and after a quick read will try to add my own......character. The name is derived from the real me.........George Stevens. And since I am old enough to remember the 40's and 50's in the U.S.; Amos and Andy radio show comes to mind. Anyone else of similar age from the U.S. can put it together. Everyone else, too bad. It's a long story. A quick bio: Solo at 16, Private at 18, then Commercial, Instrument, Glider, ASEL with 3000+ hrs PIC Aeronautical engineer Aircraft partnerships including T-34, E model Bonanza, and V model Bonanza Colonel in the Confederate Air Force Conducted the majority of Civil Air Patrol initial searchs in Ohio from 1968 till 1982. Simming since early 80's Working with computers since 1963 I live in upstate NY; for the Aussies in the group, that is anything north of the George Washington bridge to Manhatten. In fact, I live 350 miles north of Manhatten, about six miles south of the Canadian border south of Montreal. Been retired for ten years and thus have developed the following schedule: Summers are spent bass fishing on Lake Champlain. Our summer starts on July 3rd and ends on July 5th so its a short summer....................just kidding. May through September are spent fishing. We can and do receive snow from October thru April, so those months are spent flight simming. Works out quite well for me. The following photo is from 2001, my wife Rita and I preparing for a Civil Air Patrol mission in upstate New York. And finally another of my avatar..........................right side up. Kingfish42.....................................hmmmmmm...............42 could be a contraction of 1942.........................
