My condolences to all John's family and friends As I was looking forward to meeting johna in person for the first time this Friday it has suddenly become a sad time. johna and I had shared emails about our mutual enjoyment of looking out the windows of planes during our travels. If you did not know johna use to travel with an atlas so that he could figure out what he was looking at. I pass these words of his on.
"It was a (rare!) clear day and the sight was spectacular. If you've ever flown above a glacier, you know they're a "river of ice"...and think river, not ice (you can even see the "current.") …… We were above Baffin Bay, and could see where the glaciers had calved off into icebergs, maybe 20 or so, all waiting to head south and aim for the Titanic! ……..- in around a million miles of flying, it was one of the most spectacular sights I'd ever seen!
Thank you John that was it exactly.
