  M ister "Moondog",
  
     The nose, which friends respected as did Cyrano's.
  My turn.
  
     First, am I talking to a former officer who was a gentleman?  The closest
definition of your moniker in the dictionary is 'moon-calf' ... which is not
too flattering.  Is 'moondog' a nautical term?
     Referring to a somewhat loose movie portrayal of naval aviators --
indicates your relative youth.  Or, if Moodog's the real thing, does the
nickname indicate a problem of leaving one's arresting hook deployed outside
one's dress whites?  : )
  
     Should one claim never sullying one's Wings of Gold to friends who 
enjoyed
so using them?  If they judged others by themselves, would they believe,
anyway ?  I'm thinking of Dick, Frank, Arnold  and Ed, good guys who went west
before their first tour was over.  Still miss 'em.
     Anyway, it never occurred to me that I needed the golden crotch key as a
crutch to attract the interest of a lady.  (Have I gone too far yet?)
     Those were the most fun days.
     Ok, editorial comment?
  Modestly,
     Pinnochio
