Is it time for me to go?
Sample responses to me concerning a post
about Medicare that had to be retracted:
Re: PCN - Hospital Stay Article retraction
YOU are forgiven, but....NO MORE MISTAKES
ALLOWED FOR THIRTY CALENDAR DAYS, FROM LAST REJECTION!
Mark,
Thanks for the info you provide, even if an occasional retraction
is necessary. Our group includes some knowledgeable, involved, and
motivated folks. Your postings will always be checked by some, and will
provide valuable retorts, when warranted. Provoking the discussions
is what's valuable.
Dave Skilling
Then there is this one:
Mark,
God bless
you partner. I know you have had a ton of pressure on you in the past
years.
I suggest
that you take a long vacation from the site and enjoy life. I have not
enjoyed the site since you took over from Dave. Not a knock at you, just
don't think you can write an informational and entertaining piece.
Respectfully,
Pat McGirl
Editor: I have been at this 7 years, since Aug 3,
2009. The goal has always been to keep
retired Delta Pilots connected and give them a free forum to post info and
items of interest to the group. Little of the High Life following has to do
with authoring articles. Rather it is a
vehicle to post and re-post member to member with me acting as the
editor/publisher. But maybe the Captain
is right. Do you agree with Capt McGirl
that it is time for me to go?

Tip: Sharing or PRINTING
something from the High Life to share:
From: Robert Sigler

To: PCN
Subject: Print Problems
Mark,
At times I find articles from the PCN that I'd like to copy
& forward to friends who would be interested in their content.
However, in the format that you use, I am unable to copy
& paste. Can you use a different format? Or tell me
how to overcome this problem?
Thanks,
Bob Sigler, Retiree
Editor: Bob, here are a few tips for you and the rest
of the PCN for FORWARDING something from the High Life to another that you
think would have an interest. Using the
Events section from the latest HL 259 as the example:
1. All
High Life issues have a URL (found in your Browser address line) or you can go
here and then share the whole issue: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzB_SBDmSd9AMzViODQ3MDQtODhjYy00YzkwLThiMzktM2FhMDEzMDZhYjA0&usp=sharing
2. All
High Life SECTIONS, such as Events (HL 259), has its own URL as well.
If you look at the High Life Blog and click on any section title such as
the Events title in HL 259, you will now see that specific section URL in you
Browser’s address line that looks like this:
http://pcnhighlife.blogspot.com/2016/09/event-hl-259-4.html Simply copy this URL and email to whomever
you wish.
3. Email
the entire Events Section from HL 259 by simply clicking on any of the icons at
bottom of any section. All you will need
is a google login which I am sure you all have since most use YouTube and other
Google sponsored service.
Mail – Blog – Twitter
– Facebook , etc.
4. The
last technique I suggest should be a thing mastered by any web surfer. Its called Contol Copy and Control
Paste. Highlight (by dragging a cursor
over) any pic or text you wish to COPY then once highlighted simply push Ctrl
and C. With those two keys pushed at
same time it places the highlighted item in the computers buffer for later
pasting wherever you wish. Now open up
the email letter you wish to send to a friend. Place cursor in the body of the email and
then simultaneously press Ctrl and V which will PASTE the info inside the email
letter and send it.
Now for PRINTING:
1. You can use method number 4 above to paste the
article inside a WORD document then PRINT it.
2. You
can also open the PDF version of any High Life and the Print the appropriate
page of the PDF file such as pages 4-5.
There are other methods to do both
SHARE or PRINT articles from the High Life but these above are a few
suggestions that should help.

Hello,
Thank
you for always keeping me informed since I retired in 2004. Do I have a
username and password?
I
have been reading all your posts since I retired. Jesse Kukier

Editor:
Jesse, There is no username and password needed to be on the PCN mailing list. I
simply place subscribers in a database that serves as our mailing
list. However, we use a
few Google services such as the High Life Blog and the Flown West Blog
that Google may ask you to log in to if you wish to add a comment or use a
service such as email. If any Google related service (and there
are many of them including Youtube) asks for a login it is the same
one you use for any Google service. Hope that helps.

RE-PRINT David Roberts Request: Attention: Birth in 1930 or
EARLIER!!!!!
Please Help David who produces Oldest Living Pilot lists for our PCN group.
David L. Roberts robertsDL@mindspring.com
Hello all,
I've had a couple of emails asking WHICH PILOTS should be on this list. As you look at Delta's Family Tree Schematic (below) I'm looking for the oldest pilots that started with ANY and ALL airlines on Delta's Family Tree. For 2016 that's any pilot born in 1930 or earlier.
Most of the older pilots would have been too old to ever FLY for Delta but WE/THEY are all covered by Delta's Umbrella now, and get Delta passes and Insurance and yada, yada, etc.
The info I need for the list is this:

The info I need for the list is this:
- Pilot's full name,
- Spouse name,
- Pilot's Date of Birth,
- Pilot's Date of Hire,
- Pilot's Original Company Name on Delta's Family Tree,
- Pilot's email address if available.
Send me as much as you remember and I'll add that to the list and ask everyone to fill in the blanks. I would like their email address so they would receive a copy of the list.
This is a definite work-in-progress and it only gets better if we include all the pilots that are eligible. All from all of Delta's Family Tree.
My email list has a LOT of bounced email addresses so I'm sending this to retired Captain Mark Sztanyo to add this request to the next few PCN Highlife newsletters. And I'm asking each of you to FORWARD this request to all your Delta pilot email addresses. FORWARD includes the attachment below - copy and paste does not. SPREAD THE WORD.
Thanks everyone,
Dave

Subject: Fwd: 367 ORD Delta Pilot's Fly In 14 Sept
2016...
"Clear Right" Wow! what a
great Annual ORD Delta Pilot's Fly In we had yesterday at Jim Adams
field. There were 14 airplanes there but I did not get a good head count.
The group pictures has about 35 of us.
It was a great time and Jim and his wife once
again did an outstanding job. So enjoy the pictures and make plans to be at
next year's Annual ORD Delta Pilot's Fly In, as always on the second Wednesday
of September. The 2017 Fly In is going to be held at Poplar Grove.
So mark you calendars and either fly in, drive in, bike in, walk in or cruise
luxuriously in, in a big RV.
Once again a Big Thank You to Capt Jim
Adams and his wife for a great fly in.
Enjoy, David W. Skjerven

Thanks to one of my USAF UPT
classmates, Clem in Fairfax, for sending these great OLD photos.
I took one of our C-124-C birds to the Boneyard back in '72 and hated to see the end of our unit's world-wide cargo missions. This is one of those places you need to put on your BUCKET LIST to go to while you're still able to travel. And see the Pima County Air Museum just across the street from Davis Monthan AFB.
Enjoy,
Dave
It just ain’t right to slice up these ladies.
I took 2-B-50-s to DM: A WB-50 and a KB-50.
Each time I lined up my crew said some appreciative words and we saluted her for all she gave to us and America. and yes: I cried.
Clem
I'm sending THESE PICTURES of OLD AIRPLANES , TO OLD PEOPLE....
ENJOY

You've seen pix of the Davis-Monthan bone yard; these are high quality close-ups dating back

You've seen pix of the Davis-Monthan bone yard; these are high quality close-ups dating back
to the 60's
with very informative and descriptive captions. Very few of these aircraft
exist at the
bone yard
today. They have been recycled for their aluminum and other metals.
Check out the
background of
these pix. Some interesting birds parked there.
If you click
to the home page, there are some other very good links.
