“Goldsboro, North Carolina February 1, 1991 Thank you so very much. Cynthia, thank you for that introduction. This is the warmest picnic on a cold day I've ever attended, I'll tell you. And really, it's great to be here at Seymour Johnson, home of the 4th Tactical Fighter Wing--the ``Rocketeers'' and the ``Chiefs''--as well as these great refueling units, the 68th and the 916th. And let me just pay my respects and say what an unbelievable job Colonel ``Jumbo'' Wray is doing here on this base. We're very proud of him. While your wing commander, Colonel Hornburg, is deployed with Desert Storm, ``Jumbo'' is filling in, doing just great. And I'm also glad to see a man that flew over with me from our last stop--that's Governor Martin out here, the Governor of this State. Congressman Martin Lancaster, from this district, and I am very proud he is with us here today. And, of course, the mayor, Mayor Plonk, is with us, too. And I wanted to specifically thank the military affairs committee of the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce for hosting this fantastic picnic. I don't believe I've had so much fun in a long, long time. And of course, I do want to salute two others: our very able Secretary of the Air Force that you just met, Don Rice back there, as well as the Air Force Chief of Staff, General Tony McPeak--both of them doing a fantastic job for our country. This is a three-stop day for me.…”
