:airplane: One of the things that I have been impressed with is the quality of the people who visit this forum! By and Large, the vast majority of people who post in here are stand up guys, with good intentions and advice for the other people in the game.
I am going through some serious problems with my wife's health right now and I am struck with admiration and respect for the number of people who have responded with nothing but friendship and morale support for me in this stressful time.
While I spend a lot of my day at the hospital right now, as soon as I get home, I find myself drawn to the forum and feel as though I am with friends, just like you guys were right here with me in my living room. It is hard for me to explain, but knowing that you guys have a love for aviation as I do, that promotes a kinship which is hard to find.
Thanks for being my friend!! :salute
Good Luck Earl :salute
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

earl your a class act all the way and I have always admired and respected you not only for your actual military experience with these vintage aircraft that we all have so much interest in but the simple fact that your a good soul.

cheers mate hang in there. life can stop giving you things and start taking them away at any age as some of us have found. All we can do is hold on to the time we have and cherish every moment with our loved ones.

:airplane:  Thanks for the kind words! A GREAT BIG THANKS TO ALL THE GUYS IN HERE WHO HAVE MY WIFE IN THEIR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!!! She is doing better, actually sitting upright in hospital bed and is now talking a little and knew who I was when I walked into the room with her. She actually took the spoon and fed herself some bites of Turkey for lunch!
Guys, this just proves what prayer will do! The Doc's gave her about a 25% chance of getting through this thing, and she has a long way to go before I can bring her home, but at least now, I have HOPE for the future.

 :salute to all!
Blue Skies and wind at my back and wish that for all!!!

Earl,

I want to thank you for the many years of friendship.  You sir, have been an inspiration to my family and it's been an honor to fly with you and the "Devil Dog's".  Please know the Lyn and I have prayed for you and Barb.  Should you need anything, your friends will be there.

Like I said in the O'Club thread that was started in support of you, I hope for the best possible outcome for you and your wife. You're a great guy on the bbs here, and I especially enjoy your posts in the aircraft forum. I'm also dismayed by rule#4 violations in a thread like this...
