I'm not sure how familiar the name "Geoff Peck" is to many of you now,
but in addition to being a pilot, flight instructor and techie, he was
the
architect of the current rec.aviation group organization.

Anyways, Geoff Peck passed away in his Piper Arrow, on the way
back from OSH.

A moment of silence might be in order.


This is sad. In addition to the rec.aviation activities and
coordinating many lunch and dinner outings for net.aviation/
rec.aviation meetings at Oshkosh, he's also responsible for
several significant aviation contributions.

Geoff wrote both the flight planner and the plain language
translater that the GTE/CONTEL DUATS program uses. He also
did the web interface for the same that you see on the duats.com
and AOPA.ORG sites.

I waved at Geoff at his booth at Oshkosh this year but he was
busy trying to sell, so I didn't linger.
