All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

One of the proudest pieces of my diecast collection is a 1/72 scale model of "Bunnie", a P-51D which was flown by Roscoe Brown in the MTO circa 1945.

...two more members of this elite group have passed.  Clarence E. Huntley Jr. and Joseph Shambrey both died on Jan. 5.  May they rest in peace.

Godspeed, gentlemen.

RIP, gentlemen. 

While sad, I do find it kinda cool that these two signed up together, and then died the same day.  Now that's friendship!
