Everything Tom wanted seemed to fall into his life. A trip across the galaxy to go to school. Learning to fly in the atrium of a star ship. The love of a beautiful woman and a chance to become an officer on the ship.
But just as Tom was sure everything was perfect, he learned that everything has a price. Sometimes that price is more than the mind of one man can bare. Sometimes you must lose everything, just to be a man.
I grew up in small town America. My first exposure to flying was on an old DC-3 in the late 50's. Being fascinated by electronics and later computers eventually led to work in an avionics shop which led back to flying. Fate and medical problems eventually led back to computers, but aviation will always be my first passion. I hope you enjoy some of my memories of those years.
