My sincere condolences to the family of George H. Hubschman. I only knew him as a gentleman and a pilot. I lived and worked in St. Thomas, V.I. for 25 years. I flew with him many, many times on the airboats between the islands 2 to 3 times a week. We greeted each other at the seaplane shuttle often. I now live in Palm Beach County since 1999. I too, grew up in D.C. (Gordon Junior high, Roosevelt H.S., Howard and Univ of Maryland (at Bowie). I owed him my life on very many flights. May he rest in peace. John C. Schleifer
