I have no idea. Just that if you get caught consuming alcohol while carrying concealed in NC you will lose your license at the least.

Probably learned a thing or two from Lincoln Beachy.

Could be. The base commander happened to see gramps put his Jenny into a flat spin and he just barely avoided pancaking into the Texas scrub brush. So, once he landed he was informed that he was in charge of aeronautics.
Gramps was one tough old bird. Later on he flew the mail for FDR on the Salt Lake/Los Angeles run. That's how he became a full colonel in the Army Air Corp.

Beachy died in 1915, before the US entered WWI, so your grandfather probably never knew him.

No doubt he'd heard of him. Beachy was pretty darn famous.

So, Trump isn't doing so well according to the latest FEC filings.

Trump can and will get all the money he wants or needs if he promises to behave himself. Unfortunately or fortunately (for Shrilly), he has trouble behaving like an adult.
