Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I can't believe he was still alive. Always assumed he died relatively young as a result of his line of work!

Don't make em like that anymore.

That man deserved to get to the big trible digits. He served in 3 wars, WW II , The Cold War and Vietnam. He could have been an astronaut except for he did not have a collage degree. He advanced the technology of its era and science too. How wrong was that. I would bet he would have flown any space rocket better than anyone. The man had zero fear. He is a legend.
RIP Chuck.

Live long and Prosper
Peace and long life.
