HPB,
Memoirs? I have always considered doing a book but it would be titled "The People I Have Known".
Some of the folks I have had the pleasure of knowing would take more than a single chapter. Men like "The Killer" (reference to Jerry Lee Lewis) who was a ghilly on a large plantation in southern Georgia, "Coffee Crotch" and his little brother "Tanker" (who weighs 300 pounds with a body fat ratio in the lower single digits), "Thumbs", "Squats to Pee", "Horse !!!!", "Knucks" and a few others stand out.
I have always found myself preferring the company of those who took a big side step and then set out on their life's journey vice those who fell into a rut and rattled back and forth inside that rut all the way through life. Perhaps that is why I consider "real" helicopter pilots to be a very different breed.
