[GreenKeys] RTTY and ITTY: It took me a very long time, but I am enjoying...

Say, Don.  I don't think I ever asked you but any chance you knew a Harold 
Dean Goodson?  I know he flew in P2's and I think early P3's.  Was an AX1 
when he got out and eventually worked with and for me for a while.

As I used to tell Dean, you're all Brown Shoes to me.  :-)  To which he 
usuall replied with the stock answer (GD Black Shoes!).
