Darryl and I were classmates and friends at Monrovia (California) High School. My career as an airline pilot was quite boring when compared to the aviation adventures Darryl experienced. I only saw him once after high school although I had two mutual friends who saw a lot of him at Reno over the years.
I knew his family, too. Mom and dad were both great. Dad was the motivating genius behind Darryl. Darryl's sister was a great lady.
