Response:

Frankly I did not miss him.  My opinion is that his death was self inflicted.                              Guy – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->when you found out he died, did you go "na-na-na-nah-nah-na"? sheesh! >dave > Years ago I used to fly.  Once I had > an engine failure on take off.  I > got it down without a mark on me or the > plane.  All I heard from one person was > what all I did wrong.   About a month later > he had an engine failure in  a good area.  He > managed to crash the plane and kill himself. > Another on the curve.  But so typical. > Diabetes is a serious disease, and we do not know > enough about it.

Good answer Guy, don’t let these guys bug you. There’s lots of us who listen. The silent majority is always here, listening and learning. Life wisdom does not go unheeded. — t2_lurking geabbottATabbottandabbottDOTcom Do not mail to t2_lurking (auto-delete)

Response:

Years ago I used to fly.  Once I had an engine failure on take off.  I got it down without a mark on me or the plane.  All I heard from one person was what all I did wrong.   About a month later he had an engine failure in  a good area.  He managed to crash the plane and kill himself. Another on the curve.  But so typical. Diabetes is a serious disease, and we do not know enough about it. Mother Nature is deaf and does not read newsgroups.                                           Guy

Response:

when you found out he died, did you go "na-na-na-nah-nah-na"? sheesh! dave – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Years ago I used to fly.  Once I had > an engine failure on take off.  I > got it down without a mark on me or the > plane.  All I heard from one person was > what all I did wrong.   About a month later > he had an engine failure in  a good area.  He > managed to crash the plane and kill himself. > Another on the curve.  But so typical. > Diabetes is a serious disease, and we do not know > enough about it.
