I have been in touch with the president of Steve's EAA chapter and they will also contribute to the memorial wall. For those of you that have not already contributed please still send something to Mark Jones if you can. One of the greatest gifts I have received from my involvment in KRs is being a part of the KR family. Those of you that are new or have not attended many of the events (gathering, Sun and Fun, Oshkosh, etc.) may not realize what we have, but you will if you stick around.
They are gathering letters and emails to forward to Steve's family and I can pass on anything that any of you want to send. I have not directly spoke to Steve's family, but I have spoke to several people that have and they have all told me that they really appreciate the outpouring of support from friends and fellow pilots that they have received so far.

For those of you unfamiliar with this, here is the link so you can understand what I am talking about: http://www.airventure.org/2005/events/memorial_wall.html A lot of you are new to the KR Family and may not know but I did this with donations from you for Ken Rand a few years ago. This gesture was more than appreciated by the Rand family, as I am sure Steve Jones' family would be honored to know we recognized Steve in such a manner. It is my understanding that Steve has no wife or children which is a blessing in itself, therefore, what better way could we remember Steve than to have his memorial permanently placed in a location he so much loved. If you would like to contribute to the Steve Jones EAA Memorial Fund please do so one of two ways: Send funds using PayPal www.paypal.com account flyk...@wi.rr.com .
