Whack,

That was fantastic! I, myself, learned some things I did not know. I am sure Dr. Sky was pleased to have been able to host the interview.

Thanks Reid!

I appreciate the feedback. The interview was a neat experience for me. If you go to http://www.drsky.com he has an archive of numerous other interviews with folks like Chuck Yeager, John Glenn, and many others.

Thanks.

I will have to go listen to those. I have to agree with Frazer, you did not mention "VFAT". VFAT promotional officers are out to get you; you best run-run fast!

Have a good one!

Well they're pretty similar in the fact that we both love doing what we do as do the rest of our teams and I think that comes with passion in both our interviews.

Crow has also done a podcast interview which should be out next week.
