I know this is not "on topic" but I thought some of you would want to know. My good friend, and a regular contributor to this bulletin board, "johna" passed away this weekend. He had steered me to the BB and had often said that he really enjoyed reading and contributing to it. I know that he had even met some of you in person - so I thought I would let you know. As you probably knew, John had AIDS, and had fought the good fight for 10 years. The end was mercifully quick. One of his biggest thrills was flying on the Concorde with FF miles and even getting to go into the cockpit - he's really flying now!!!
