Totaled. :-(
We are more grateful to be alive than anyone can imagine--a real event
like that makes it *SO clear* how much good LUCK (after extremely BAD
luck) is involved when people survive!

But it still hurts to lose something you put so much of your heart and
soul into passionately restoring. No gender difference there...I
challenge anyone to say I'm less upset than any male airplane owner
would be.
