For those of you who don't know, the author of that email was Chuck Yeager.

Sad to think of how few of the generation that literally saved the world are left with us today - and how many other remarkable stories of heroism and sacrifice will never be told.

Rest easy, Shifty

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
