Bob,
I am glad that you too had a chance to share your love of flying
with your friend. Thank you for the posting the poem, I particularly
like the last verse: "Now is the time you own; The past's a golden
link. Go flying now, my brother-It is later than you think".
The last few months have been a reflective time for us with the
pasing Bill and several friends including George Barone who was the
owner, chief instructor, AP and DE of Wurstboro airport where I
completed my primary training. Two other friends had recently
discovered some terminal illnesses. Life is just so ephemeral. We
just have to enjoy it one day at a time.

Hai
