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.
