Some names from the past by John marzluf.
| Quote: | Ok guys,
I wrote this for fun a few years back at this time of year. Many of you will
remember the names of those listed who are no longer on the list or with us.
I simply chose 33 names from the last postings to the list that December. I
personally miss seeing Mike Harter's postings.
Christmas Eve in Melbourne, Florida
By John P. Marzluf
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town,
No noses were frozen, no snow on the ground.
No Melniks in flannels were tucked into bed,
They all wore their headsets and flight suits instead.
With Laura in curlers and Danny's ramp cap,
They had just settled down for a long winter's nap.
When out on the driveway there arose such a clatter,
Danny sprang to the observation deck to see what was the matter.
The moon was aglow on this clear winter's night,
He checked the winds and noted twenty miles of clear sight.
Then what on the pavement before his eyes did appear?
But whole squadrons of Kitfoxes all pulling a giant sled in the rear!
He called for his Zacky to make a count of 'em all 'for they go,
But the young lad was online to, can you guess, Lego?
He called out for Laura to come see all models 1,2,3,4,5 and newer,
When suddenly up on that sleigh he saw, could that be Joe Brewer?
Joe jumped from his mount and gave a wee chuckle,
He was wearing Bermuda shorts and a Kitfox Lite buckle.
He went straight to his work and unloaded for Dan's neighbor a kit crate,
Pulled his flight log out and shouted: "That makes two hundred and eight!"
Then back to the cockpit in a hurry he went,
Scanned his team, "Is Harter's right flapperon bent?"
"Clear all props!" he yelled loud as thunder,
And they all fired up first lick, over three hundred in number!
"Ready for take off!" He pulled out THE LIST,
"On Czernin, on Ducar, on Jones, and Morrise!
On Shumaker, Oakley, Pearsall, and Bennitae!
On Graichen, Smythe, Shiple, and Fitt!
On Harrington, Jr, Lynch, and Cygrit!
On Kerr, Gordillo, Rice, and Franz!
On Robertson, Hays, Roy, and Monse!
On Liles, Lovern, Puls, and Hottle!
On Doerwald, Robertson, Hausding, and Krottle!"
They all flew away too fast, but you get the gist.
Departure control heard Joe exclaim as he flew out of sight,
"Merry Christmas Kitfoxers and to all a good flight!" |
