Was that before or after Patty Wagstaff? I met him too at her house. I think but I’m not sure, he lived there too? They were dating or something.

So I've discovered, I thought that was Photoshopped.

I thought that too at first. Apparently most people do, but it definitely isn’t.

Scott Crossfield, and Sparky Imeson come to mind. BOTH died doing exactly what they were trained to do and both extremely proficient for decades. When it's your time.....

Don't know. Probably around 2010, 2011 or so, I think.

This was on or about October 26, 2001. That’s the day I went up with Phil Knight in his Extra. The party might have been that very night. So yeah this was long before you met him. My understanding was they were a thing for a while then broke up but I’m fuzzy on the details.

You were at Patty Wagstaff’s house? Cool.

We had her at an airshow I helped run. Didn’t get to talk to her too much, but that girl could put em down.

Then if course there’s the Wagstaff incident at OSH.
