In 1979, I sat down at my favorite bar and ordered the usual. An old timer sits down beside me and we start talking. He has some incredible WW2 fighter pilot stories.

"Yes, she says, that’s Pappy Boyington, he flew planes in WW2."
When he came back I paid for his next drink, and sat there for hours listing to him.
