I kind of had a BAD hunch. I had noticed a HUGE spike in the hits on my ‘DC-3’ posts. It got me worried. I called the airport & got the SAD NEWS.

I had met with him in April 2022. He had health issues. I DID NOT TAKE ANY PICTURES of him on that visit because he was on oxygen! I knew he wouldn’t want to be seen like that. I, however, wish I had taken at least one picture.

All I have are these pictures from 2021 — at the height of COVID! Didn’t enable me to get too close or get a selfie.

I WILL MISS MAX!

He was a CLASS ACT.

I, alas, only got to meet with him twice. That is my loss.

I will find the obituary & publish it.

I just wanted to share the news.
