newsboyzgrl777 - I feel your pain.
I would have posted this on the snowmobile forum I used to be active on but I sold my snowmobile to buy an engagement ring and haven''t posted there in months. I think Pricescope is stuck with me now.
I am terribly sad to report the death of my best friend''s Ted''s father this morning. Ted''s father, and 3 other men were killed moments after takeoff in a small plane. They were departing from the Charleston SC area, in the dark, on the way to an amateur radio competition in the Bahamas. The awful details are in the link below. I''m pretty sure my friend Ted is mentioned in my Who''s Who. Ted is the guy I went snowmobiling with. I lived with him for years out of college. I can''t remember not knowing him, his parents, or his sister. We grew up practically across the street together. When Ted would go off on a sailboat race from Annapolis to Bermuda or Newport RI, his father and I would call and e-mail each other while following the race online. Ted''s father and I would follow the race obsessively. Now who''s going to follow the race with me when Ted goes out there?
Ted just called but I missed the call. He was boarding a plane and had to shut his phone off. I called back 2 mins later but missed him. I feel bad I missed the call and he had to tell me via voice mail. My parents were very close to Ted''s parents too. Being roughly the same age, my paarents are in shock. Ted''s parents recently retired and moved to the Charleston, SC area. They were totally enjoying retirement and have been traveling all over the world. I am so, so sad. PLEASE pray for the families of all those involved in the crash.
