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

We were up in Boston this weekend. I needed to rescue a bunch of antique radios and test equipment. We packed up 35 boxes of stuff for the movers to bring to Georgia. A much smarter move than driving the truck up and back down. It is 16 hours each way, it would have been a much larger commitment.

Here is a pic I took a couple months back of a fire truck greeting us on the ramp. No we weren't on fire thankfully. It was the last flight for the captain before retirement. The other pic is Jackson county Airport, Georgia.

A pic from Curitiba Brazil a couple of weeks ago. I always seem to see cars upside down in Brazil.

We were up in Rochester and Berkshire, NY. It was nice to spend time on the farm. We had half a day in Rochester, here is the quick video.
