Bora Bora
- Unquestionably the most mystical of the Pacific islands remains
the island of all dreams. So much has been written about Bora Bora, and yet it is hard to find the right words to describe the magic that emanates from this island. |
 This site is self explanatory. The most impressive, mystifying and impressive photo I've ever seen of Mother Earth. Can you find your house in the photo? |

 A Real Hall of FamerMy father, Walter "Whitey" Whiteside, was a wonderful man. He passed away peacefully at his home in Lancaster, CA, on November 15, 2000. Born in Reedley, CA, he always said he left home at the age of 16. Friends say he was more likely run out of town--for various reasons, no doubt. He joined the US Army Air Corps in 1933 and spent 40 years of his remarkable life serving our country. He spent 26 years in the US Air Force and retired as a Major in 1959. Some of the stories he told about his days supporting the flight testing of many of our historic aircraft at Edwards AFB and elsewhere were fascinating and awe-inducing. B-29, Flying Wing (with Chuck Yeager), X-1, X-1A, X-2, X-15, M-2 Lifting Body, and the Lunar Lander...he was around them all. Many X-15 pilots and three astronauts were at his retirement party when he left NASA in 1972. Revered, loved, and respected, this gracious and kind man helped thousands of people begin a happy, joyous, and free life during his glorious 86 years. Best of all, he was my Pop. Here's to you, Whitey. |
