Sorry to hear of the lost of your wife and best friend. Although I did not know Donna that well, any friend of yours is a friend of mine. I always cherished the times you and I flew together, George. At this of the year I fondly remember you wearing your leather overcoat and you trying to avoid being seen by our Chief Pilot. When you, Donna, Meli and I meet again in Heaven the angels will have a good laugh when I repeat that story. Your Buddy Ralph
