 The reporter didn't quite
        get the story right.  We were going to have a memorial bench on the
        walk outside the airpark, but they were not accepting any more benches. 
        Adda called the Courtenay Airpark Association as asked if we could
        donate a bench in Dad's memory right on the airpark, outside the
        pilot's lounge where Dad spent many hours watching the planes and
        talking to the pilot's.  They couldn't find a spot for a bench, but
        donated the table Dad used to sit on every Sunday for his memorial site. 
        We go there with Mom and the kids.  It is a special spot and it's
        almost as if it was meant to be...Dad would've wanted to be right on the
        Airpark, not on the walk outside it.  Mom, Adda and I spread Dad's
        ashes on the runway at Courtenay Airpark.
