(John Jung) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 10:44:38 AM PST US From: "Bob" Subject: Kolb-List: Dave Pelletier The following article is in today's Prescott Daily Courier and contains some very nice words by friends and family of Dave: Dave A. Pelletier Dave was born on Dec. 22, 1937, and died Nov. 13, 2006. The dates are only for the headstone. What he did between those dates is what is important. Dave had many hobbies and into each one he always put in 100 percent. He wore many hats during his life. He was a proud retired United States Air Force veteran and patriot. After 22 years in service to our country, he worked at Northrop Aviation on the Stealth B-2 bomber. He was a professional musician, per-forming Bluegrass and Old Time Music in the Western states and into Canada. His persona of Cousin Homer of Winooski, Vermont, was enjoyed by all. He loved boating, fishing, hunting, motorcycle touring, stamp collecting, and was a gatherer of obscure Early American music. Prolific writer of songs, poems and stories for children, his legacy will continue to give laughter. He loved kids best and would interact with any group of them he would meet. There was never a dull moment when Dave was around. He lived life to the fullest every single day. Everyone who knew him was the better for it. He died doing what he loved, his passion for flying. =8BA Friend, George Thompson Dave was and always will be a unique person. He has touched many souls in his short stay we shared with him on planet earth. To the person who served him his favorite meal (breakfast) to playing games with the grandchildren, Grandpa Dave was always on stage and experiencing life. Dave's six grandkids never had any down time =AD Grandpa time was always soaring high with silly jokes and magic tricks. There were no limits to Dave's antics =AD not even Grandpa Dave's glass eye. I was privileged to know Dave for 24 years, and I will try to share my experiences with my kids on a daily basis, no matter how small it may seem. Our world is a lot of small blessings bound into a wonderful ball of loving life. =8BSon Damon Rogers The recent loss of Dave Pelletier extends beyond his family and local community; his presence extended much further. Dave drew his energy from the smiles and excitement of others. That was his fuel that inspired his gift. He chose hobbies that would involve others, whether he was plucking his banjo or flying his plane. Dave enjoyed going to festivals and volunteering to entertain the attendees, especially the young and impressionable. While at a festival and trying to find Dave, we would just look for the group of laughing kids and Dave would be in the middle of them. Dave's first plane was a single-seater. He quickly realized he needed another seat to share his love of flying. Fortunately, Dave's grandchildren and dozens of others were able to experience the joy of flight in his light aircraft. He will be greatly missed. =8BSon Ryan Rogers QUOTE: "You can do anything you put your mind to." =8BFirst wife Shirley Pelletier Good-bye, my love =8B soar with the eagles. You are the love of my life. =8BWife Evelynn Pelletier A Celebration of Dave's Life will take place at the DLC Auditorium, Embry-Riddle Campus at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2006. Final Internment will take place at 2 p.m. on Dec. 22, 2006, at Arlington National Memorial Cemetery in Virginia.

Best Regards, Bob Thompson (no relation to George) Prescott, AZ -- 11/26/2006 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:15:01 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Need 503 help! From: "John Jung" Group, I believe that I solved the problem. It was the battery. After doing a lot of checking, I discovered that the size battery that I have been using was less than recommended. The 503 manual said 13 AmpHr minimum and I was using a 9 AmpHr. So, I bought a 16 AmpHr battery and installed it today. Now, when I turn the key, it starts immediately. -------- John Jung Firestar II N6163J Surprise, AZ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=77129#77129 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
