Wow...I just found out Ernie died....I knew Ernie since we went to Clear Lake Intermediate School and then Clear Lake High School. I also worked with his father at NASA and hung out with the whole Grodecki and Motway family quite a bit back in the 80's. I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Ernie was a great guy and always made me laugh....I will never forget him. God Bless You and your family.
