It is truly a labor of love for these wonderful machines. Pity the year sped past with such blinding speed. But then again, the new year will bring with it new opportunities. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a very prosperous 2006 ! Thank you all who made many a day a delight by sharing an experience, a bit of knowledge and just general 'tire kicking' around Commanderland.

May we celebrate the Reason for the Season. Don ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:49:26 AM PST US From: "Don Girod" Subject: Commander-List: Cessna 195 crash --> Commander-List message posted by: "Don Girod" Gentlemen; I just saw on the news of a Cessna 195 crash off St. Augustine and it said the pilot was Gary Tillman of Rome, GA, age 43 and his 16 year old daughter, who are missing. Is this the Gary Tillman who was on the Commander chat list? Either way they need our prayers. Don ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 10:12:11 AM PST US From: "John Vormbaum" Subject: Re: Commander-List: Cessna 195 crash --> Commander-List message posted by: "John Vormbaum" I found this link: http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/topstories/news-article.aspx?storyid=49052 with some attached video on the search, from last night's 6 & 11pm news reports from the local channel. I've spoken to Gary on the phone, and he wrote my insurance policy the first year I owned my airplane. I'm holding out hope that the search teams made progress last night and we'll hear something good today.... /John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Girod" Subject: Commander-List: Cessna 195 crash > --> Commander-List message posted by: "Don Girod" > > Gentlemen; > > I just saw on the news of a Cessna 195 crash off St. Augustine and it said > the pilot was Gary Tillman of Rome, GA, age 43 and his 16 year old daughter, > who are missing.

On the link given by John below, there is a photo of Gary and sadly, it is a face I recognise. Gary was the first auctioneer, at the Hillsboro Fly-In and those present will certainly not forgot it. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Gary's family and friends. Barry C.

He attended our first couple of flyins and did the auctions. He was an honest, professional gentleman in the tradition of the "southern gentleman" I will miss him. jb ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 12:51:07 PM PST US From: "Jim Addington" Subject: Commander-List: --> Commander-List message posted by: "Jim Addington" Sad to report that a Mallard went in off the coast Miami Beach FL. Six reported dead for sure, it holds seventeen plus crew of two. On a better note every one have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Jim Addington N444BD
