As my Typepad blog went into oblivion without any warning from Six Apart, I had better repost the following from my Tumblr, in case it has the same fate.
This was an old favourite post of mine.
The rise and rise of Joe Patroni
George Kennedy’s most famous role. OK, so the last one is from View from the Top, but you can’t tell me that he’s not playing Joe Patroni there, too.
1970: mechanic
1975: vice-president of operations
1977: airline consultant and US Navy liaison
1979: Concorde pilot
2003: first-class passenger (and a well earned retirement—thank you, Joe!)
