Our problem was almost losing our staff on that valujet crash.
A number of our staff were scheduled to fly on that ill fated
flight after doing a Miami install. Install took too long and
they rescheduled. Rest of the group was on a Delta Miami-Atlanta
flight at the same time. We fly Delta now.

I should have remembered that was Andrew Jackson who said that, since
he got his nickname "Stonewall" by vetoing bills passed by Congress.
-- Vice President Dan Quayle, confusing Andrew Jackson
with Confederate General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson,
who actually got his nickname at the first Battle of Bull Run.
