I'm sorry but I do not believe I know him?
I was a flight instructor myself but I never had the pleasure.
I know a guy with a Taylorcraft down near Homer OH but that's it.
He owns Barber Field and sponsors a T-Craft reunion each year. It is kind of T-Craft central. His Dad worked at the factory building them.
My wife flew me over there one day back in 1967before we were married. I saw a lot of planes that I had never seen before. She had gone to college with someone that worked there. I think that was where I saw the first Myer's OTW I had ever seen was at Alliance? I had met the guy before at Southern IL University. Showed us all around and all the different planes. I cannot remember his name anymore and my wife died 12 years ago.
Sorry about your Wife. If you have a chance to visit Barber Field in Alliance again, visit the Balsa Bees located at the East end of the Airport. A great bunch, and many Saitos in use.
PS Their giant scale fly in is tomorrow (Saturday). I will be there with my P-38. The TurboHeaders came in the mail from RC Specialists and they look great. I can't get them in for tomorrow, but hope to have them in and be posting a video with sound in a few days.
