In light of Geoff’s recent parting, I am trying to compile a photo scrap book for his granddaughter. Geoff died doing what he loved, flying. If you have, or know of someone else who has, photos depicting Geoff in his flying career. I would greatly appreciate a copy to include in the scrap book for Kimberly and her mom, Martine.

As many of you know all of Geoff’s immediate family is in Wales and there is only his flying family from which for me to draw a picture of Geoff’s life here in the states. Geoff led a very colorful life and I know there are some great stories out there about flying with him. I would really appreciate any input you might have regarding Geoff’s life.

If you have hard copies you can send them by snail mail to: PO Box 519; Dunlap, CA 93621.

BTW, Goeff's record flight from Big Spring was by truck tow from the Big Spring airport where we are holding the Worlds. It was 275 miles.
