Lincoln, Kennedy (John and Robert), Connally, Wallace, Reagan, Ford, McKinnley, Garfield, Long, Truman,...American politicians...victims to gun violence. Not something to brag about! OSH link to would-be Teddy Roosevelte assassin. http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/life/timeline.htm Shot in the chest while entering an automobile outside the Hotel Gilpatrick in Milwaukee, WI by would-be assassin John Nepomuk Schrank at about 8:00 p.m. Campaigning on the "Bull Moose" ticket, TR delivers a 90-minute speech at the Auditorium in Milwaukee before seeking medical attention. The bullet would never be removed. [Schrank was declared insane on November 13, 1912 and committed to the Northern State Hospital for the Insane at Oshkosh, WI, and died at the Central State Hospital in Waupun, WI on September 15,1943.] Montblack |

Ladies & Gentlemen: Happy Fourth!
Hi Jay,
Hope you enjoyed Independence Day. As for for flying, well, you can do the same thing in the most of continental Europe except the Great Lakes tour. It is a bit more costly though. Now tell me, where can you land in five different countries in five hours flying time with somthing as slow as a C150 without the need of filling out a single piece of paper(not counting aircraft log). Thousands....er.....hundreds....hmm...dozens of Europeans pilots do several countries in one day without any problems. ;-) Still, I like to do some flying in the US one day. -Kees D-EHNE |

Not something to brag about! More precisely, victims of dangerous criminals. If you're dead, you're dead. Would it matter if they were instead by knives, poison, fists, etc. Or suicide bombers?

I bet they could go to Oshkosh in a couple of weeks and interview ... Wait a minute, what was the address of that hospital before it was torn down so they could build an airport? |

Janis Joplin I don't know if you're trying to make a point, or if you just got it wrong, but the word 'give' in the quote above should have been 'lose' if it would be correctly attributed to Ms. Joplin. |
