Overall, Doug was a pretty good guy, one of the few bachelors we had at the facility out of 57 controllers at the time.
Out of the 57, there were 46 of us fired by Reagan in the strike of '81.

I was going to ask if you survived Reagan's firing of the illegal strike by the controllers. I thought better not the right subforum. My Dad worked for TWA was a lifelong Democrat but supported and voted Reagan. That firing ended his support.
