A Very Disturbing Story

Gang,

I just found this out yesterday, but I was told that the story broke on Friday.

We have a local pilot, CFI and aviation business owner who has been
arrested on sex charges with boys. I will not editorialize on this
event. I just hope that his local "airplane store", which is based at
KPLU, does not get screwed over in the process of the upcoming lawsuits.

You can be sure that this pilot's legal troubles will drive him to
bankruptcy. Spencer Aircraft can only be saved if someone else is
willing to take over the business.

It is not a matter of punishing the business or its employees. It is
simply a fact of life. This guy betrayed not only the trust of those
boys, but also the trust of everyone who depended on him and worked
with him. They will be hurt, badly.

The other thing is that now everyone will wonder about us pilots who
like to give kids rides in airplanes. I am absolutely furious with this
clown.
