    I was so sad to see this news in our paper this Sunday morning. Hilda, I had certainly lost touch with both of you and to that I'm also very sorry. We're living now in Indian Land, SC. When you can, please email me so that we can converse some more. I so much thought of Allen and all the good times we had together both on land and in the air. He would be really proud of me now as I'm in process of learning to FLY. I've been taking lessons since early October.
    All our best to you and your family. Hope we can connect really soon.
    Always,
    Bo and Donna Ibach
