So long ago yet seems like yesterday. It was a scary event concerning someone I admired.
General Alexander Haig: “Everything is under control. . . I’m in charge.”
Flew into the National Airport a few years after that. Came out of the terminal and noticed Haig standing on the sidewalk waiting on a ride. He was wearing a trench coat and smoking a cigarette.
I didn’t realize he was such a big guy. He looked to be every bit of 6’ 5”.
Ill never forget watching Ronnie walk into the hospital leaning on the agents cracking a joke. What a guy! He was the real deal.
