And I'm meant to have (and use) lots of people skills and liaise with millions of people -- and you know how much of a people person I am (not) :P<BR/><BR/>Will keep you and Mark in mind, for courage.

Exactly! If I can't talk to you who could I talk to?<BR/><BR/>Hojo's; Sad? More, from my pov, frustrating,just because we will never know just what happened. We, his family, are not the investigating team but there are some things that make us think Mark had a stroke or heart attack prior to the crash; he was on final approach, coming in to land; he was in radio contact with the ground. Radio contact suddenly cut out & was never re~established & the nose went tail up. Every flyer knows you put your nose down to land & Mark was a very experienced, very careful pilot. He was a Christian so we have the hope of eternity but I feel for his son who was very close to his dad & had just got home from boarding school for his Christmas break when the accident happened. Ditz says crossly all my family likes dying round about Christmas & sadly that is all too true.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476109171650258810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-13870518402374832582008-09-08T16:41:00.000-07:002008-09-08T16:41:00.000-07:00The last line of your post would be a good place t...The last line of your post would be a good place to start :o)<BR/>I popped over to the blog too, wow!<BR/>Terribly sad for you and your family though.<BR/>xcThe HoJo'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535973575442294099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-37722170506808117302008-09-08T16:07:00.000-07:002008-09-08T16:07:00.000-07:00lol Everyone who knew Mark has a funny story to t...lol Everyone who knew Mark has a funny story to tell about him from the parents whose daughter he was dating & returned home past her curfew (he brought his apologies dressed in sackcloth & ashes) to the pilots he flew with. He once congratulated his minister on his sermon because Mark understood his point. I am given to understand it was a 3 point sermon & no~one seems sure which point Mark got! <BR/><BR/>Moly, Mark's bike was yellow (the yellow peril) & he took Liddy out while she was down on her own ~ 200kph, or so she tells me, on the open road. Glad I didn't know at the time. And frankly his taste in movies was apalling ~ but hey, you've read what I like!Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476109171650258810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-84397869901631137862008-09-08T15:39:00.000-07:002008-09-08T15:39:00.000-07:00Wow...Mark sounds like he was an amazing guy, and ...Wow...Mark sounds like he was an amazing guy, and I think your SIL's idea of a book would be fantastic...I'm so sorry that you guys lost him. *hugs from the other side of the world* ...<BR/><BR/>I clicked over to the blog and discovered two of my favourite things going on - three, actually... motorcycles (Norm is a biker - I've spent many many hours on the back of his, roaring around in and out of the province), photography (she's got some fantastic pictures over there!) and then I spotted this...<BR/><BR/><I>Once the sun has set, we'll fire up the surround sound and projector to watch Mark's all time favourite movie, Top Gun on the big screen outdoors!</I><BR/><BR/>Not only does it sound like your brother was quite the character - he also had excellent taste in movies. ;-) ...I think the only movie I've seen more times than Top Gun is The Princess Bride. I have the TG soundtrack in the car - Cindy & Christopher love "Danger Zone" and we often get the most peculiar looks, driving around town with that old song blasting out the windows. *grin*molytailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998928076467405984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562416362853862929.post-67907106249538053052008-09-07T20:03:00.000-07:002008-09-07T20:03:00.000-07:00What a great recollection!

I hardly knew your brothers -- maybe met them once -- but I do remember your vivid tales about rolling cars and the escape of the blue-ringed octopus.<BR/><BR/>Mark sounds most endearing -- rather like you in many ways (let's face it; once you get talking you are the life of the party) -- and I'm glad you got to know him well as you both got older. Also glad you have such a good SIL. <BR/><BR/>SianoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
