* Paul, Doug, and all:

     My apologies for not being at Copperstate.  I'll miss you all, but my
     priorities are currently here in Prescott.  I've been too busy to
     even let
     you all know that I lost my son, Warren, in a tragic aircraft accident
     October 18.  He died doing what he loved, photographing a MIG-21
     air-to-air.
     He was 3 days short of his 39th birthday.

     The preliminary report has just been posted by the NTSB:
     www.ntsb.gov <http://www.ntsb.gov/>
     accident #LAX07FA012.

     My wife and I are slowly healing.  God bless all of you.

     Tom Parkes

Tom,

I am very sorry over the loss of your son. Please accept the condolences
of all the rotor heads throughout the world. We hope you find strength
from all of us and from all of your other friends and family.
