I know all of the "old timers" and probally a bunch of the "newbees" know Frank "Bull" Brown. Frank and I talk frenquently on the phone, the last time I talked to him he told me that he is giving up flying. I remember when I first met Frank about 30 years ago, I took and instant liking to him. His zest for life, his love of flying and his abundant personality were the first things I noticed about him. We have been friends since that first meeting, I use to fly into Richlands airport in Virgina where he lives and spend days with him making his rounds as an artificial insemenater (sp) for Select Sires. He would all ways tell the farmers ( as he had arm up the cows rear) "this is Bubba Lee from Tennessee, I brought him along to kiss the cows when I get through". I don't know if he will still go to fly-ins or not, and I don't think he is in bad health,( at least he told me he wasn't) but I think enough is wrong that he does not feel confident to fly anymore. Frank is in his 70's. Frank does not use a computer, but if he should here about this post, I want him to know he has been a good friend to me and I love him like a member of my family.
Happy retirement from flying Frank,
