FINAL  FLIGHT

 

 

Tony Willis

 

 

made his final jump this past June after a long battle with Liver Cancer. You can bet he still had that pair of panties stretched over his helmet and a cigar stub between his teeth. He was a great guy and a legendary PJ.

 

He is survived by his children and wife Betty who resides in Satellite Beach, FL.

FINAL THOUGHTS

 

 

Well gang, can you believe that the next edition of the “Pedro News” will start our 2nd year? We have truly been blessed by the availability of the Internet. Who would have thought that after 40 years we would be back in touch with many of our old, dear, friends? Many of the stories and pictures you have sent to Steve and me have brought back fond memories of our “time-served” with our old friend “Pedro”. We hope that we have been able to bring you the same joy that was ours upon receiving the story material. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna get all mushy on you!!!!  Just think about how far we’ve come over the past year. Steve and I purposely chose NOT to start an “Organization” as there are a bunch of them out there. Instead, we decided to attempt to become a news and networking operation in hopes of bonding us all together through an “E-Magazine” information network. We hope you enjoyed this edition and we promise to try as best we can to maintain the quality and accuracy level of this publication. As always, we need your support to keep us going. It is YOUR stories that we enjoy telling and without YOU, we are nothing!!!! Keep the good stuff coming and we’ll do our best to put it out there for you.

One last thing. The Pedro Web Site is up and running now. We will continue to refine it as we go (I’m just learning web design). Since the Newsletters only come out four times a year, we usually have a lot of pictures to post. Pictures, even though I edit them for size, add to the download time. We could do a “text only” format but what fun would that be. It would also make us look like all the other E-newsletters out there. So each quarter, for those of you who have slower modems (56k), allow about 5-10 minutes of download time. For those of you who have “Web-TV”, you don’t have to worry about pdf’s anymore.
