In the mid-70's In Valdosta Ga, while a member of a crash rescue team I
extracted a lady from the wreckage of a Globe Swift that crashed on the
airport. The lady's last name was Piper, first name may have been Laurie
or Laura? Does anyone know any details of that crash or anything about
Ms. Piper, I had the opportunity to talk with her less than 30 minutes
prior to the fatal accident, she was a very nice lady...Harold

Nice plane... Accident reports don't usually list names...
