Mitch Cronin Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Aww fiddle! It's just now occurred to me that Robert Milton might actually read this and feel a little hurt that I didn't say goodbye to him at all.... and I feel like a shmuck for it.So just in case.... Sorry mate, I'll try to correct that now.I believe you tried your best, before you went to ACE... For that, I thank you.You scared the crap out of me when you called me (seemingly milliseconds after I'd posted something like, "If he doesn't think he botched the merger, then I think he's a fool"), but I've shared that tale with a lot of folks who laughed like hell with me since... so the net effect has been a huge positive, so thanks for that too.Thanks also for expediting that little personnel issue that had become stuck in the machinery... I know that meant a lot to him.I enjoyed reading your book, "Straight From The Top", and continue to recommend it to anyone interested in the history of commercial aviation here...While I hate what ACE has done, I'm not one of those who confuses your duties at ACE with those at AC... that is, I understand the "goodbye" really should have come a while ago, but heck, I just got the notion recently....Good luck Robert. It's too bad it couldn't have been a better departure, but I do sincerely hope you and your family have all sorts of great times enjoying your wealth (Of course I'm jealous! You're younger than me, punk! [insert wink]), and I wish you the best.Cheers,Your Pal, [grin]MitchPS: I have vague memories of telling you I'd remind you when you go, that I'd once told you that you'd be leaving before me... So, here I am to keep my word and remind you... [still grinning]Then again, I have vague memories of lots of things these days... sometimes I find out I've made it all up!
