A special Thank you to Mr. Mark Dinan, an aviation enthusiast. He not only tracked down the actual planes owned by my father and Fruehauf and provided us with helpful information regarding the airplanes makes and models. I am touched that when Mr. Dinan was a young man he was introduced to flying and airplanes through the airplane fleet at Killarney and Walter Bellchambers who was one of my father's closest friends in the Killarney area. Mr. Dinan went onto have a career in aviation and is currently a pilot for a major air carrier. Conversely, Ernie Christophersen who is pictured in many of the photographs in the Killarney section featuring his accordion around his neck influenced my brother Randall. He became passionate about the piano and entertained many with his Boogie-Woogie style playing. We never know how we will affect the lives of others.
