Jameson and Guinness will come later.
Logistics says I might have to do the toast from home this year.
Every year I take stock and wonder at how deeply Lex affected me.
On the surface we should never have had a correspondence.
He was a retired Navy Captain, I'm a medically separated Army NCO.
He was an aviator, I was a multi-purpose tanker.
But he answered my silly questions about flying when what I was flying was a very dumbed down simulator and gave them serious answers.
I will join you in a toast tonight, and leave his challenge coin on the bar. Fine man gone too soon.
