DUNCAN MILLER FEATURED

Our buddy Duncan was featured in a very nice article in the Solano Seniors Magazine.  I would love to copy it and feature it in it's total copy here but I think the author, Nan Mahon, might just get Pi...st.  At any rate, the article was short but wonderfully done.  Go to, http://www.seniormagonline.com/2010/02/duncan-miller-keeper-aviation-history/ for the complete article.  Congratulations Duncan!
