Linda & I had a wonderful dinner last night at Circa 1886. They offer 2 tasting menus and we got one of each so we could try it all. The wine parings were fantastic and the staff was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend it when you are in Charleston.

“Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.”

Yesterday, my big brother did just that—peacefully slipping away surrounded by family and friends, finally reunited with our parents and sister.

Rob, or “Mitch” as so many knew him, lived a life defined by service, dedication, and passion. He spent 25 years on active duty in the U.S. Army, beginning in Armor before answering the call to the skies as a Cobra and later Apache pilot. He became an instructor pilot, then rose to Chief of Instructor Pilots—shaping and mentoring countless others along the way. Robert's Army friend of 49 yrs, Brett Radford, was able to get here and was here for Rob's retirement.

His service didn’t stop when he took off the uniform. For nearly 25 more years in civilian service, he continued supporting Army aviation, eventually becoming the curator of the Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker. That museum became his legacy—his pride and joy. Through his vision and leadership, it grew into something truly special, even expanding into a new facility that stands as a testament to his commitment to preserving history.

At home, Rob created his own “man room,” a deeply personal museum filled with history and heart—honoring our father, a Vietnam-era F-4 pilot, and our grandfather, who served in World War I. Surrounded by their uniforms and stories, he carried their legacy forward with pride.

In the end, that’s where he wanted to be—home, in that room he loved. Thanks to his son Clay, whose determination made it possible, Rob got his wish. Once home, we saw a remarkable change. We shared hours of meaningful conversation, laughter, and love before he quietly found his peace.

He lived with purpose. He loved deeply. And he leaves behind a legacy that will not fade.

Rest easy, brother. You’ve earned it.

Today was a tough day in Dothan AL. My older brother spent the last week in Southeast Medical Center here in Alabama. Linda & I made it here last night & Kevin got here today. Ryan is in South Africa so he had to call in. We are waiting for Rob to be released so we can get him to his home in Marianna, FL where hospice will make sure he is comfortable. He is surrounded by family & friends. In the picture from 1975, I would turn 18 that October, Dan was 5 & Rob was 21. Pic 2 was in 2011 at our sister's funeral. Life goes quick, hug your family!

Last night at the Hilton Lincoln Centre, and I were named USA Ambassadors for “Turkish Taste.”
More than a dozen Turkish delegates arrived at DFW last week, joined by chefs from across the country, for a gala celebrating Turkish and Aegean foods.

led the evening with professionalism and energy as emcee. orchestrated the event with meticulous attention to detail at every level. Chef Carlos Castillo and his team delivered a flawless dinner that truly honored the depth and hospitality of Turkish cuisine.

I’m deeply honored to be part of this exceptional group and grateful for the opportunity to represent “Turkish Taste” in the United States.
