Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

I am in Atlanta back from Hampton VA. It looks like I might need a new computer. The keys aren't always working so well. I plan on being in Atlanta mostly for the next couple of weeks. I do have a trip up North in there. Then it is back to Europe for a couple of weeks. With my new watch I can measure cabin pressures in commercial airlines. Here are some of the pressures I have measured on some recent trips. 7228 ft. Airbus 320 6913 ft. Airbus 320 6850 ft. CRJ700 5200 ft. CRJ700 5200 ft. CRJ200 4000 ft. CRJ200 3652 ft. CRJ200 6168 ft.
