I was lucky to meet him one day as i was going to work in Ilion. He was there on a tour. We shook hands and chatted for several minutes. Sad to see him decline in health, but he is doing it with dignity and seemingly no regrets. Godspeed Mr. Yeager.
Been watching these guys for many years. It is sad, but JY seems to have a good attitude. Hes lived many years without any other health problems and done/experienced lots of great/crazy things. As he said, hes lived a full life. I can fully understand his warrior mindset.
