Tributes
"I also remember the time he and Anna flew out to met us for a get-away on the east coast. I was impressed that they piloted the private plane there. After watching them prepare for the flight home (HUGE checklist), I realized I might not have the patience to be a pilot. I'm glad he did it though!"
"I remember visiting Lewis and Anna in California with my sisters, Penny & Pegi. He and Anna were perfect hosts. We had a great time and often wondered if it was foggy on the (Golden Gate) bridge when we would head out for a day trip in our rental car. TS"
