Attended a fighter pilots' reu-
nion last weekeed, and am happy
to report there's still a lot of
fight left in the old fighter pilots,
although I am forced to confess
that a good many of us were not
as young on Sunday morning as
we thought we were Saturday
night.
I shuddered deeply when the
long-distance call came through
and the familiar voice chortled,
"Hullo, Willie, Dutch here."
Each time Dutch calls, which
is every two or three years, I
whisper gently to myself, "Oh
dear," I know perfectly well that
whatever he has in mind will be
intriguing but exhausting.
We have a peculla,r relation-
ship. He taught me to fly Spit-
fires about 20 years ago in
England. Ten years later, he
walked into a hotel in a Cana-
dian resort area, grinning
broadly, and said, "Hullo, Wile
lie." I had not seen hint in the
meantime. Next day, I went off
with him on the most unusual
fishing trip I've ever experien-
ced.
He's an Australian of great
charm, a certain ruthlessness,
a fantastic energy, and an ex-
treme individuality. Add to
these a keen mind and a rare
flair for the wild caper, in some
moods, and you have most of
him.
Except that he's a bachelor,
and doesn't have to cope with
women and children and respon-
sibilities and all that rot, when
he comes up with one of his
hair-raisers.
The infuriating thing is that
he always acts as though one of
these ordeals he gets me into is
purely medicinal, atonic rather
than a mankiller. 'Twas so this
time:
