Good Morning/Afternoon Jan Arie,
I am typically not bent that way, but I'll have to say that "payback" was moderately satisfying..................
She was one of those people that was so dishonest that she didn't trust anyone because she thought everyone was like her. Glenn was estranged from his entire family because they were only interested in his fortune and had treated him terribly right up to the time they realized he was worth a ton of money, then they "love him long, long, time....................." He had told me that if anything ever happened to him he wanted everything to go to his significant other, Terri, and the two of us could decide what to do with the hangar and his planes. Unfortunately that would not hold water legally so his entire estate went exactly where he would never have wanted it to go. She and her husband barely made it to his funeral because they were locked in his house trying to figure out how much money he actually had, in the mean time the rest of us were trying to honor and say goodbye to our friend. Seems like a long time ago now, but man it hurt then.
When I walk into his hangar it reminds me of him because it always smelled like Jet A from the L39 , still does. I think it's more do to the Westwind that sits in there now, than L39 remnant, but the potpourrie is the same. One day I was working on the Cub in my hangar and Glenn taxied back in from a flight in the L39, he rolled up and turned, pointing the tail straight at my open hangar door. I didn't think anything of it because we moved our planes back and forth between the hangars as needed for extra space to work or overnite a buddy's plan or whatever. I just continued to work, until he hit the "smoke" switch. My hangar went IFR in a split second and Glenn appeared in the fog laughing uncontrollably. Then there was the day I looked up from my workbench to see a big Michelle OBama calendar hanging on my wall..................... Retribution came slowly for Glenn, but it was fun torturing him for a year while he kept asking me, "Come on, what are you going to do..................?" The life sized blow up doll of Barack he found sit-in in his cockpit one morning was just the beginning of a long series of "gotchas", we had a lot of fun.
Good times Jim, except for the greedy ones .
We have some good memories in that Hangar of yours for sure, I still cherish those memories.
Every time I walk into the living room and look at my photo of Happy Jack's Go Buggy I think we did good....
Indeed Jan Arie, hope we can make some more on elf these days. How are you feeling?
