Yup... Chuck is one of my heroes. Possibly my main hero. I've mentioned that back in the 90's I used speak with Chuck pretty often. At the Reno air races he's drop by our motorhome camp and spend a few hours visiting. A more personable man you'll never meet.
He was never really reticent to talk about the old days... but you would have to be the one to bring it up. He mostly liked talking about hunting and fishing, which was ok by me BUT... I did often press him on the 'old days'.
A great man. - JamesJM
