to not have a brother. When I think of all the stupid @#$# I did alone I can't imagine what it would have been like with two of us. ALTHOUGH...

I did have a close cousin who lived down the road... he didn't visit often but he did visit. He was younger than me... therefore - he was the test pilot for the 2X4 frame with my mom's bed sheets airplane I built out in the storage barn... then tested from the roof of that barn. It didn't go well... a design flaw, I think, but I never tried another after that. My cousin broke no bones, by the way... so don't fret. Bruises, cuts, one nail went about an inch deep into his shin.... so pretty unscathed, I think. - JamesJM
