Mother appreciates kindness




My son was killed on a plane that went down on Feb. 6, 1998, near the airport in Homer. I came back in August to see where his plane went down.

Bob Painter, fire chief, came and got us. We picked up the airport manager, Kevin Jones, and Karl Horst, fireman, was there. He had made a path exactly to the place where my son went down. I am so very appreciative as to what was done.

Thank you also to Robert Purcell and Elaine Grabowski who made this possible. There is no way I can begin to thank people enough for their kindness.
