Whenever I can't remember some long ago person, plane, fly-in, incident, event, whatever - I've gotten accustomed over many years to ask Sparky about those things which have slipped my mind. He's in his 80's - 85 coming up on 86 but has a much better memory than me so I use his brain instead of mine when I want to pin something down. I've just taken it for granted. Today I found out Sparky had a mild stroke at the airport and is in the hospital with "specialists" circling around him like vultures over a zebra kill. I think he'll be okay and be coming home and will be reading krnet as always but finding this out today is an unwelcome reminder that time is passing, people are passing and with them go the stories and the memories and knowledge of what's gone on before. Sparky's going to be okay since I can't imagine otherwise, but finding out about this today is a rude reminder that each day, each person, each plane, each flight . . . it's all so fragile and temporary and to be appreciated while we can.
