My wife will enjoy this one! Admiral Myers began life as a bean counter! (A term Deb is not happy with my use of. My sole civilian hero, Leido Anthony Iacocca, a “car guy” if ever there was one, also called Accountants “bean counters”.) Admiral Myers career has been most impressive, all the way back to his B.S. in Accountancy! Am further impressed by all the aircraft types he’s flown, all of his flight time, and, most of all, all the carrier decks he’s landed on! Fly Navy!
