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

One month down already this year. It looks like it will be a fast year. The busier you are the faster it all goes for sure. Besides the organizations outside of work, work and all sorts of stuff we have been in Georgia, Florida, Michigan and Minnesota. Here are some pics of the plane and some of the fun. Lots of smooth power. I think I have flown 10 different 172s over the last few years. This one is special. It is pretty much the only one that is hanger-kept. We fly to the land of "Dawgs" and we posed with our "crew car". It is nice getting Marshaled in. They are great at KAHN.
