Saturday, April 13, 1974, I was flying an Aero Commander 520 (oldie but goodie, serial # 18) from Chicago Midway to Valparaiso, Indiana.

Pretty lady passenger was sitting in co-pilot seat. Took me a while to work up the nerve to ask if she was free for dinner.

Today, May 18 2020, will be our 41st wedding anniversary.

Christmas 1974, I gave her a piece of jewelry, a ring that was a love knot woven with one strand of yellow gold, one strand of white gold.

I sent the ring to David Truong so that he could see it in detail and duplicate the design for matching earrings.

Those are beautiful Mr. Tail, send the wife a congrats or my condolences, whichever is appropriate

Congrats to Mrs and Mr VTail!

Nice job on both yours and Mr Davids part.

happy anniversary

Seems like it was just yesterday.

Those are beautiful! Dave never fails. (Of course I was hoping he duct taped a dude on a plane again

Happy Anniversary to the Tail's! Pretty earrings, how did she react?

Congrats! And as always, nice work by Mr Truong.

She loves them. I served them up with breakfast this morning.

She might even tolerate me for another year.

Congrats!!!! He does good work. I am going to get a hold of him after he returns from his vacation. There is something I want to order and hoping he could help me out.

Very nice on both accounts. Congrats to all!

Happy anniversary, friend!!!

Congratulations!

You have very good taste in a thoughtful ring sir. I bet she loves the pair. Happy 41st you two.

Outstanding gift, V-Tail! Happy Anniversary!

Congratulations, Dave did my wife's ring and did a great job.

Earrings look awesome. I love the fact you’re still in love with your bride after all these years.

You were flying a plane and meeting your wife, about six months before I was born.

Vtail, Did you eat supper with Jesus and the twelve disciples?

I had been a commercial pilot / flight instructor for about ten years prior to that date.

Different religion. Well, maybe not, I think that He was the first Jew to convert to Christianity (there's a joke about that). A musician friend of mine who wrote a song about a carpenter, said: "Remember, Jesus was a Jew even though He had a Puerto Rican name."

Vtail, you’re the coolest guy n the internetz.

Seriously. I hope to share a beer, or a soda with you someday.
