Glad you made it home safely Herb. I hope that when the Chicago Center controller asked if you were on board by name, did not cause you any undue concerns. It was just a "funny" sequence of events.
I was looking at the photos of your plane that Scotty had posted just a few hours before I went to work today. Then shortly after I sat down at the radar scope, I heard the controller next to me who was working the airspace over the PMM VOR respond to "Skymaster N712JF." After I heard that, I was thinking, why does that call sign sound so familiar? I could not recall if that was your call sign or not so I asked Mark (the controller working you) to ask you if that was in fact you. I figured you would not recognize my name as we have never met but thought possibly it would ring a bell if he mentioned this website.
Anyway, congrats on your awards and maybe one of these days I will make it over to 08C with my plane and we could meet. Take care....
