Cees et al--
For various reasons that sounds like a nice idea. Paul's concern is valid, I think, though that had not occurred to me as I thought back on those we had lost...Actually, Carey Moore, on his own site, had a page titled "Remembering", which was dedicated to the veterans who flew these classics in anger and, too often, sacrificed supremely. It struck me as classy; this could be a similar nonspecific tribute.
Two more we lost from the local circuit some years ago were Jack Spanich (AD-4) and Ray Mabrey (T-33).
