Andy flew his final glide last Wednesday night. You will be missed EA!

Whenever we have more information, we will pass information about his memorial service.

Thanks for letting us know, Enrique. The world is a sadder and less colorful place without EA. Andy was one of the legendary soaring characters and his stories will still be going around the fire many years from now. One of Andy's regular gags as a CD was to have his phone ring during the pilot's meeting. He would carry on an amusingly fraught conversation in which it was clear he was on the losing end of some sort of embarrassing legal issue. Upon hanging up, he would explain: "That was my ex-wife, otherwise known as "the plaintiff"." Andy was a cut-up, but he was a sweet soul as well. At Cordele, nearly every afternoon, during that short quiet time when everyone was out on course, Andy would gather up the crew kids and take them for ice cream. He's missed already.
