BDK, not only do we agree completely that you are not "normal", in fact I don't think a lot of WIX folks would fit into the normal category.

Sometimes I don't know what to say that would be useful or helpful in these situations. That does not mean that I don't care!

True Brandon..not that I don't care, but what can I say upon the tragic passing of a father
and son? I'm shocked, but speechless. Bill mentioned no one commented and I must admit
after 671 viewing..of which I was one..I felt shame at not having noted their passing, but my
lackluster comment really did them no honor. There are things we quietly carry with us without
comment.

I never commented publicly upon the tragic passing of Jim Wright or Jerry Beck. I was shocked
and still I'm speechless..I'll never shake their hand and thank them for the joy they brought me,
but that doesn't mean I've forgotten them because the words escaped me.

I didn't know of the Runyan's prior to Rogers posting..tho being a Seabee nut..I was going to look him
up later..doesn't mean his passing was missed, just not realized. :wink:

I am not sure how I live in Vancouver and just found out about this, from a friend that used to hangar at Green Mountain, today.

How very sad. I met the father once when I was out there - very nice guy and a fun little airport. Did some great flying out of there.

My thoughts are with them... maybe a little late, but no less sincere.
