As we mourn the loss of a great American, we can't help but think how needless his death was and how avoidable. To fly in such inclement weather into a small airport not equiped to handle such adverse conditions certainly lends credance to the need to make the decision to stay on the ground or fly into a facility which can direct the aircraft to a safe landing. Duluth would have afforded the necessary haven of safety. The people of Minnesota not to mention the nation, will bear the burden of the loss of a man who truly represented his fellow man Marilyn, Florida. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
