Steve - thank you for everything YOU have contributed to US. I have
greatly valued your good humour in all sorts of adversities, and your
thoughtful and intelligent postings.
Those closing words also reminded me of a few words of a poem by Gill
Robb Wilson which touch me very deeply:
And of the living ... none, not one
Who truly loves the sky
Would trade a hundred earth bound hours
For one that he could fly.
regards and thanks again
Rowland
PS I guess there may be some who want to know more about GRW's poem;
to forestall queries, there is a copy of it online (slightly
corrupted by typos, I think) among the "Great Aviation Quotes" at:
<http://www.skygod.com/quotes/> in the poetry section. It first came
to my notice about 7 years ago when I saw Andrew Tron using the lines
above as his .sig file on the rec.aviation.homebuilt newsgroup.
