Frank Borman passed away

Frank Borman the Apollo 8 commander passed away yesterday. He settled on a ranch east of Billings that you could see from I-94 and frequented the local EAA chapter up there. My father-in-law met him a few times at those and said he was really nice.

He also was CEO of Eastern and one of the Franks. Maybe he should have stuck with astronauting but that’s a different story.

I’m fond of what he said about the airline business. Among other accomplishments.
