I only met Ivan once, but I could tell right away that he had class. He was visiting Ottawa on business a few winters ago, but had some free time on a Saturday. I played tourist guide and showed him around town and the Canadian National Aviation Museum. (Our current club president, who works at the museum, gave us a behind the scenes tour. Ivan wrote about it in his column. I gave that issue of the magazine to the museum.) He was a nice guy with a great knowledge of aviation stuff. After the tour, we met with a bunch of local RC'rs at a pub and had a wonderful afternoon of chit chat.

My condolences to his family and friends.
