New Years Post
All you old timers know how I am, and I know who you are. I don't post
anymore, no time or need for the aggravation, to be frank, but I've met some very good, life-long friends and to you folks, I offer a New Years Post. Ladies and gents, take a moment to go get a glass of something pleasant to drink. I'll wait. \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ There, now that you're all back, raise your glasses, please To absent friends and a profitable and Happy New Year. Tony, Gil, and the rest, we'll always remember you. John Stricker |

Here's a toast to honorable guys with more guts and go-for-broke panache than I'll ever have. Gives me something to live up to. Or try, anyway. Mike Patterson Please remove the spamtrap to email me.

Tony loved people, life and a good time. He was always ready to take on the dragon in defense of the little guy. I only met him a couple times but I knew him as one of the most honest loving people you could ever meet. The world lost a grand soul when Tony passed over the Divide. Tony Pucillo, I salute you.....

I am sorry I missed the original toast, I'll make it now. I spent hours in
discussion with Tony at several flying, Sun 'N Fun and Copperstate, as well as many phone conversations and I really miss him. John, your picture series brought a tear to my eye.
