Did you know an SR-71 pilot named Jerry Glasser? He was my high school physics instructor.

Thanks for the response. I thought it may have been a long shot, but I know the SR-71 pilot community is a relatively small one. Figured it was worth asking.

He was one of the best instructors at Jesuit HS in Sacramento while I was there. I think he is retired now.

He had his old flight suit set up in the corner of the room and lead our robotics team. Goofy guy, but incredibly intelligent and passionate about physics. He made his physics class a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Plus, his exams always had a question involving vectors and shooting down an enemy MIG so he made his exams "fun" as well.

Thanks again for your response and your service.
