The one thing about Graham was you could not pay for anything we had to fight for the bills he's the one guy I will never forget. I already trained him on
B727. He was ready to upgrade. So much fun. I
forgot the name of the beer. We did our share to
exhaust the supply We live forever on the
memories. B Jolly
