Texstar crash

[Benzene]

I appologues as my greif has turned to rage and that into total madness. I have never had a peer and friend die so tragicly. I hope it does not happen again but my mentors inform me that it is one of those things that occur from time to time. My prayers go out to the family particularly, but I hope that each of you find your own peace in this time of turmoil.

A couple of you guys, in particular the former employees are really showing a lack of maturity and professionalism. You know exactly who you are.

why dont you just come out and say who you are talking about, Metro. I show no lack of prefessionalism.

The aircraft had just had an overhauled attitude indicator put in the day before. It appears that it may have been the cause of the problem. I was shocked to find out that this had occurred. I met the guy the day before when I jumpseated home with him from Whichita. My prayers for his family.

I hate to bring this up and revive old memories of the day this happened, but i heard there is going to be a charity golf tournament in Corinth with all the proceeds raised going to a scholarship fund set up in Nick's name. I just heard the name and where it was, but i did not catch the day. I believe they said it was at the Corinth Country Club.

Just some FYI for anyone who knew him.

Please post any info you get on this. I know of several guys who would be interested in playing.

Thanks

Getting the Word Out

I have been out the country for a while and just heard of the golfing event. I know right after the negligent homocide many controllers asked if any charitable contribution was possible. As such, it might be a good idea to place it in the news and post it on a couple of the controller web sites. Tears still well up inside when I think of him and the extinguishing of his bright flame.
