[AT] Re: Floyd River

[Dallas and Kathy]

What a small world. I also new Doc Brooks .His office was in Akron, and he 
lived in Brunsville. He  cracked my back many times. I am not a flyer, but 
he showed me some beautiful airplane pictures that he had hanging in his 
office and he told me many stories. Some of the planes that he flew were 
bi-planes and quite old. In addition to being a fine and a fine pilot, he 
was a very good Christian. That is what counts now for him.  Do you know 
Rollin Willer of Salix? He is a first cousin of mine.   Dallas
