I kind of disagree a bit with my friend Bruno. First, there is no time sensitive information here, other than the curiousity factor. Second, it is extremely unlikely that there will be ANY new lessons learned.

Part of the healing process is to talk about what happened, but definitely not in a public forum environment. Hopefully Frank will get to sit down with a friend or 2 and talk it out so he can get on with the healing.

Let's leave him alone. When he's ready to tell his story, I have no doubt he will do so in a good manner.

I've been in his shoes once and been the listener more timesthan I want to count, so I think I know of what I speak.

I completely agree with you actually on this one Hank. What you read in my post is my emotions on my sleeve at the moment. We are all so close friends and acquaintances in our rather small group of active soaring pilots that when one of them hits a mountain it is hard not to REALLY care and want to know more. We care about each other. Patience is a good now that we know Frank is ok.

John, you were right on once again with your thoughts. Thanks.
