David Ashby - Moderator Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm so sorry to inform everyone that Pete died following a heart attack yesterday. He was great flyer, builder, writer and photographer whose popular column in the magazine was appreciated by all. He was a good friend too, always happy to help and he'll be missed by everyone at our club. My heartfelt thoughts go to Janet and the family.
