[El Gato]

I’ve been there!... but it was a long time ago, 1974, and I was wearing my blue suit in those days. I was TDY for a project, discussing testing of an inertial navigation system.

However I was close enough to see their airfield light about 10 months ago. I saw it from White Sands Missile Range, where I was involved in preparations for a Surface To Air Missile system test. Test went well, but I was laid off 2 months before the test. In fact I was out there my last week, training my replacement. I’d been out there a lot in the previous year plus, but didn’t realize how close our test site was to Holloman.

Holloman and White Sands Missile Range are now a Joint Base.

And a good evening/morning to you, El Gato. You were close!

Not good about being involved in all the lead up and then not getting to see it happen. And layoffs are not good.

Hope you and yours, and all the little ones, are all doing well.

And we thank you for your service to our country.
