As noted it has been quite a week ; we lost four great membes of the "Tribe" plus 3 in our own family. I am now sitting down to post updates . YES good old Jack Adams who has hauled many a Taylorcrafter back and forth to the Motels during the fly-Ins for 40 years has Gone West. I will see that the family gets copies of any replies to this thread or you may use the web site at the Funeral Home.... Wow, same Funeral home for Mary Jane, Bruce and then Jack. I did just fly over the interment at St. Joseph Cemetary on the south edge of Alliance , I was able fly slowly by as the casket came out of the Funeral Van, flag draped and ready for Military honors. I then proceeded West slowly rolling back and forth. Tears in my eyes and many thoughts in my head.
" Eternal rest, grant unto him,O-Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. Amen! & So mote it be!
