Three friends of mine were killed flying their own planes, or flying in
their own planes. A fellow I worked with in Michigan, Morgan O'Leary, was
director of PR for the Michigan Democratic Party and a former newspaper
reporter. He died in the early 1970s. Walter Reuther, the great UAW leader
and a mentor of mine, also died in a private plane crash. And a third
friend, a local printer, crashed his stunt plane into a bridge abutment.

I hate flying.


Sad. I just found out last night that the president and CEO of the company
that acquired mine back in '00 was killed in a crash of his private plane in
California two weeks ago. He was a long time private pilot with a strong
sense of adventure.
