I also met Ed
Mahler and Rod Joslin, obviously because of Nick.
I can never see "Cheers" without thinking of Nick

I don't remember the others, but I knew Big Ed and of course knew Rod
from his acro work also. Both were great pilots. Ed of course bought
the farm on a photo shoot when the tail came off his bird. I lost
track of Joslin and don't know where he ended up.

I don't know either. Saw him fly a few times. He frequented VanSant as did
Ed. Ed's PJ had a dual set of tail wires on it and on the day th efilm crew
was there one was broken, so he took the front set off supposedly saying
he'd flown with worse damage. He didnt' get to far before the stab
collapsed. Nick was devastated. We had a very , um, unlucky EAA chapter
altogether..
