Oh, this is such a dreadful disease... I pray for everyone.  Its so sad, with age you either have your mind and bad health... or you have no mind and great health....

So, so sad.  I remember him. And such a young guy!  Even in my late 50s I feel somewhat invincible, that is until I look at the crewroom wall and see all the faces of guys my age passing.  Don't let this job get you down.  Try to get as much time off a possible and enjoy life, otherwise we will all soon be retired and wonder where it all went.  RR

My thoughts are with Alan and Josie.
 
Check this out, from one of the other series of articles:
 

In 1980, a would-be hijacker stuck a gun under his throat on a PSA flight preparing for takeoff at the Stockton, Calif., airport. They were alone for six hours, talking, while a SWAT team gathered on the tarmac. Alan kept himself and his bigger assailant calm until a moment of distraction. A brown belt in karate, Alan snatched the gun from the man's waistband and knocked him across the galley, enabling authorities to capture the man with no harm to plane or person.

God Bless them.  This is such a horrible disease.  Having lived thru it with a family member, I can honestly tell you this is worse than any cancer one can have.  The Mind, is such a horrible thing to lose.
