Back in the High Life Again -Theme Song:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adw772km7PQ&ob=av2e

Lyrics:

Back in the High Life Again

Steve Winwood

It used to seem to me that my life ran off too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run, it's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in the bright part of town

 

I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched me once
Will smile and take me in

 

And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
I know I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

 

Girl, you used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance the mornin' sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop 'til we're done

 

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

 

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
Though we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
High life
In the high life again

 

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

 

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
Though we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
(Back in the high life)

Oh, we'll be back...

Repeat Appeal for a PCN Dir

Seeking the NEXT generation of PCN editor:

Dear PCN, I have been running a web community with a website or blog and newsletter since the 90’s.  On August 3, 2009 I merged my community with the one founded by David Roberts and formed the PCN for our retired pilot community.   Here it is 2025 and we’re still together and I am still doing this. 

 

I am going to Retire from the PCN no later than the end of 2025.

 

I would like to hand off the Newsletter and management of the PCN so someone who feels that the torch is worth carrying on.  For any member interested or wants to learn what’s involved I would enjoy that call and chat. My efforts will continue, giving it the ole college try at finding a successor.  At some point, if that replacement Director/Editor is not found I will have to bow out.  So if you may be so inclined please consider this opportunity.  It has always been a pleasure and a honor to serve this exceptional group of aviators.

 Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),

 

HIGH LIFES to CEASE after DECEMBER!  2 MORE ISSUES – other PCN services continue

 

September was nuts for me and worthy of skipping a newsletter anyway, because October is the best month of the year. October for Baseball.  October for Football.  October for hunting and woods time.  October for birthdays. And October for vacations.   

I will produce this and 2 more High Life Newsletters.  My run is coming to an end.  If someone would like to keep the High Life going and the full …..PCN going then message me.  In December I will retire from directing and Editing the Pilot Retiree newsletter.  The PCN Web site and the Flight West Blog Memorial site will continue for the near term.  There are some amazing colleagues and aviators honored on our PCN Flight West site and one day I would like my own story memorialized there as well.

Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),

 

Well, maybe the emphasis of a New Delta “SkyHub” and newsletter for Retirees is coming at a good time.  In my plea to find a replacement for what I do here at the PCN, I  have heard from NO-ONE who has stepped forward to keep the PCN Highlife and community going.  My days are winding down, and I will be around for a few more months.  We will of course keep the PCN Flown West Blogspot going but as to New Notices of comrade’s deaths we’ll have to talk that over.  However, in this issue is published the new attempt by Delta to have a viable communication community with those now retired that help made this company what it has become.  Maybe in some ways this new effort by Delta will be a good one and maybe retirees will enjoy staying connected and learning the news from this hub.  We’ll see.

New PCN subscriber Sign Up:

 

As you most of you know our PCN is a private subscribed to online community.  We maintain a list of that virtually eliminates spammers or other online undesirables from joining with a simple sign up procedure, so the applicant can be screened.  I am very happy with how this has worked as we can be assured that everyone on the 2670 member list is legit.

 

If you know of a pilot who wishes to join our community and receive our notices they can easily and painlessly become a subscriber for FREE by simply filling out the SIGN UP form.  If a current member vouches for a friend and simply sends in their former Delta position and email, I have always considered this an appropriate vetting and added them directly to the list.

 

Thanks for helping the PCN remain the largest retired Delta pilot online community and for helping keep our mailing list made up of all legit subscribers.
