Re: Terry Bowden's father passed away yesterday

Thanks Chuck and everyone with the thoughtful coments. I will try to post more about my dad soon. But we are all busy preparing for visitation tomorrow and funeral on Tuesday. Dad is responsible for causing me to become infected with aviation. During the late 1970's and 1980's Dad hosted 14 grassroots fly-in's at his Central Texas Airstrip, Deer Pasture Airfield. Over the years he owned and restored more than 15 antique airplanes, including a 1929 Curtiss Robin, a two '36 cabin Wacos, a '39 Beech Staggerwing, and others. He was an avid Taylorcrafter. He learned to fly in a BC12D NC95951, in which he was a 1/4th partnership back in 1955. Years later he bought another BC12D, NC95598, in which he taught me to fly. I was 14 at the time. We also restored it together in the mid 1980s. He sold it and then 20 years later, I bought it back. It is out of annual right now, but I look forward to getting it back in the air someday soon.

Re: Terry Bowden's father passed away yesterday

One life well spent can provide a lifetime of memories

Keep the memories of his wisdom
to guide your decisions
Keep the memories of his strength
to guide your resolve
Keep the memories of his tenderness
to guide your compassion
Keep the memories of his love
to heal your heart
Keep the memories of his faith
so you will never really be apart

Every time you fly his plane, take the opportunity to be together again.
