Controller Retirement

Saturday night a good man retired from Burbank Air Traffic Control Tower, Barry Wagoner. He started there in the ‘70’s, took a break in ‘81 thanks to Reagan, then came back in ‘97 thanks to Clinton. He is a wonderful person to know and be around. His integrity and professionalism at work, along with his very friendly and kind demeanor as a friend away from work, are tops. I’m looking forward to the many times in the future we either enjoy a fine beer together or travel up to Reno for the Air Races. Congratulations, Barry, your career was stellar but, I know, the retirement will be worth the wait.
