Thank you for giving me such an interesting middle name. I haven't seen you since I was a little kid, but always knew my first and middle names came from my Dad's two best friends, Jack Brinkley and Derrell Morris. I hope the three of you are now back together flying the skies again in that old Stearman biplane and having a great time sharing memories.
