From LifeLine Pilots

RE PWK crash

As many of you are aware a fatal plane accident at PWK-Palwaukee, IL took
place on January 30, 2006 claiming the lives for four individuals. It is
with the deepest regret that LifeLine Pilots must inform you that Mark
Turek, IL volunteer pilot, was among the victims. This flight was not
LifeLine Pilots mission related. Mark had been a volunteer pilot for
LifeLine Pilots since 2000. While his compassion was demonstrated in the
missions he flew, he was also one of the few pilots that flew after the
tragedy on September 11th. The Air Care Alliance and National Aeronautics
Association awarded Mark with a Public Benefit Flying award for the mission
he flew from Palwaukee airport to Bethesda, MD transporting platelets for
Pentagon burn victims.

Services are as follows: Visitation Friday, February 3rd, 4
p.m. to 8 p.m. Funeral service Saturday, February 4th at 1 p.m. at
Donnellan Family Funeral Home, 10045 Skokie Blvd., at Old Orchard Rd,
Skokie, IL. A pilot memorial is planned for February 11th at the PWK
Airport.

The Turek family has requested memorials be made to the Mark Turek Memorial
Scholarship Fund c/o Morgan Stanley, attention Fran Schmidt, 2500 Lake Cook
Rd., Riverwoods, IL 60015.
