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 completed my bi-annual flight review. Good. We had a neighborhood garage sale, and we participated, made a few bucks and got the exercise and refreshed/repacked "the stuff". We found a couple very useful items as well that we put to use, (didn't remember it was in storage). Earlier in the week we went downtown and met briefly with a former US Ambassador to Venezuela.
