My husband rode a plane once and that was the last and only time. I love to fly and still do.

He sounds like he had a fairly exciting life - the camera and his love of planes would suggest so. Too bad that conflict with fathers can often force a young man to leave.

He probably walked right away from his family off to seek the next big adventure. <br />So sad about Dan. It's really upsetting to look at that picture of such a cute young boy, only to know that he died so young. <br />NancyNorth County Film Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683794164957833415noreply@blogger.com
