    On Tuesday, May 30, 2006, I will be taking David’s ashes to Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in upstate New York. It’s David’s favourite place in the world, a working museum of antique airplanes. I’ve made arrangements to scatter his ashes from the 1929 New Standard biplane over the Aerodrome and Hudson River on what would’ve been his 39th birthday. All who wish to gather at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome for this occasion are welcome. More details will be announced closer to the date.

    I’m thankful I was able to visit Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome with David on September 4 and fly with him in the biplane. I told him we would do it again, and this way, we can. David spoke of the sky as his “happy place”; I will release him to a joyful firmament.
