Subject: Pietenpol-List: Oscar, Charlie, ThanksMy deepest sympathies to Oscar Z. We've never met, Oscar, other than sharing this list and a love of flying, but I send to you and your family my family's thoughts and prayers. I also am saddened to hear of Charlie Rubeck's passing. I talked to him a little at Brodhead 2005. He was going in for surgery the following week, but Ididn't hear after that how it went...just very sad to hear that he is gone. I purchased a set of his exquisite wing ribs at Brodhead 2004...I will send up aprayer of thanks for Charlie -- especially when "his wings" lift my Piet for the first time. We all fly on the wings of heroes like Charlie who have gone before.Last but not least, many thanks to everyone on this list for your invaluable wisdom and advice. When our various Piets fly, I think it can be said that it is certainly a team effort.Best regards to all,Fred B.
