What next I ask myself. Having read and enjoyed "Blue Highways" by William Least Heat Moon I think I'll hit the road and travel to places I've never been before much like he did. All I need is a VW camper, a Rand McNally road map and lots of time. To hell with office work, sales, management or other such mundane jobs. I want to travel and I want to do it on my own without restraints. Maybe I'll write a book too when all is said and done. It's time for another adventure. Bart Dunn ~ On The Road Again 100,000+ Mi.

Hi Res

Hi Res ~ Once upon a time there were two very special airplanes that lived... far... far... away on a tiny island in the Bering Sea. One was named "Rivet Ball" and the other was named "Rivet Amber". Very few people knew anything about these two planes or the men that flew them. Even family members knew very little. That's because their mission was........ TOP SECRET Since 14 February 2000 ~ My wife and I live in Omaha, Nebraska. Between us we have five children, six grandsons and one granddaughter. When asked what I'm doing these days I say.... "I'm enjoying my wife, playing with grandkids and telling stories." Life is good.
