I believe that this is the last picture taken of Greg Sisson....while he was photographing the festive ongoings, a trucker in a fit of rage targeted Greg...obscenely yelling out something about chocolate chip cookies and calling someone a so and so sunflower???? RIP Greg! And thanks for the calender too!

Truthfully, which was a scarier experience - Pooner's poor excuse for driving the Barbie III tug, you sitting on top of a pilot's seat filled with pack rat nest parts and pieces, or that WWII reject of a tow bar we were using that hinted it was gonna give away at the weld joints while crossing the taxiway or near all of those parked and very expensive "real" airplanes?

I did my fair share of praying that day. Oddly enough, towbar held. And so did our luck....
