John is still unable to write directly to the list. Cheers from Oz Russell ------ Forwarded Message From: John Towner Cc: Barry Collman Subject: Re: Commander-List: 1st presidential debate Russell, For some reason my computer will not let me e-mail to the chat page but I can e-mail to individuals. As a follow up one of our pilots on his layover in Joplin MO found a book in a used book store for $.25USD "The Flying Whit e House" that told the story of how President Eisenhower came to like Aero Commander and how he made his "Secret Service" pilots go to Bethany and the m checkout. The story goes that they actually purchased 15 Commanders total. If you will send me your address down under in OZ I will send you a copy of the pages from the book that tell the story. If you want to share this e-mail with the chat page it is fine with me. I will copy Sir Barry in too our "Commander Historian"for he might enjoy the story but very possibly already knows the story.
