Happy Trails, Frank!

One of our dear friends, Frank Protiva, was killed last Friday morning when his 1963 Cessna 205 crashed in trees about 15 miles south of Flagstaff, Arizona. Frank was one of the 5 "Followers" of this Blog. He was an avid weather watcher and we exchanged many great emails about "The Great Winter of 2008-2009." You can click on his picture at left to read his official obituary. I will be creating a memorial page for him on my personal website. Since we was a genuine Follower of this blog, I thought it was only fitting that he should have a little memorial here, too. NOTE: When this post moved off the front page, we took down Frank's photo and the link connected to it. It's going to take us at least a day to reconnect the photo, the post and the link to his obit. Don't worry, it's on our radar. Thanks for your patience. j
