Thanks for all you’ve done over the years. There’s apparently no age limit on historians... I’m currently reading “The Wright Brothers” by David McCullough...fascinating stuff.

I would buy that but I had just finished another book on the history of flight, focusing on the Wrights and Langley, so I think it would be pretty repetitive. But McCullough is one of our best. Fair, accurate. His small book on the Johnstown Flood was a key research piece for my chapter in “Seven Events that Made America.”

I’m in the middle of that too.

Very good.
