[Leica] [OM] IMG: Working Aircraft

[Jim Nichols]

Peter, you have been a fountain of information for me today.  I knew 
Chris Rounds' dad from dealings with him at work, before I retired. I 
have talked with Chris a few times, but don't know him well.  I ran into 
his dad at the local tire store last week, and found out Chris was 
getting ready for a job in Texas with the Red Knight.

Chris also now owns the rebuilt Piper J-3 Cub that I learned to fly in, 
back in 1957-58.  I heard he had a taxi accident with it recently, so I 
haven't seen it lately.

  Thanks for all of the background information.
