A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Tom and Frank were the best part of Flagstaff. The world wont be the same without them, and their friends and family wont be the only ones to miss them. What they worked for and did for the earth is irreplaceable, and we'll miss they're talents and love. Our prayers are with you, Tom and Frank. We love you, and will love you, for the rest of our lives.
