brandtb Addict Registered: 11/26/04 Posts: 505 Loc: S.E. Pennsylvania	Eddie Rickenbacker. He was the ultimate Alpha Dog. He saw his father killer before his eyes in a dispute over a $10.00 bet. He had to dominate every conversation, have the last word in every arguement. The people who were with him on the raft couldn't stant him. For the rest of his life, he had a bottle of water at hand. _________________________ Univ of Saigon 68

James C. Whittaker, US Army Air Corps (one of the survivors) "Seven Came Through" by Captain Edward V. (Eddie) Rickenbacker I have Lt. Whittaker's book but it's been years since I read it.
