1 Brodak Ares and a Brand New PA.40 ultra light and accessories in the aid of finishing this plane.

I do apologize for not being able to give everyone a Christmas gift. Please realize this is a huge undertaking as it is and maybe next year we can do more.

I hate to bring bad news  to this thread and wonderful event.Jerry Bohn was one of my few bEST friends.He passed away Dec.21,2007 from a sudden heart attck while at work-Jerries widow knew that Jerry and I have been best friends from grade school on-She also knew that Jerry and I talked planes everyday on the net.Jerry lived in Colorado and I live here in Western Michigan.Jeannen sent me all of Jerries C/L engines including the wonderful PA-40 that he won from the Christmas drawing.She could`nt send me his Ares that he had allready started.So I`m just stating here that I will buy an Ares and use the engine the way Jerry would have wanted.I just wanted to let all you guys know why Jerry never made it back here to update you all on his Ares-PA-40 progress as I`m sure he would have loved to-I pledged to do it for him-

Such sad news,  I hope someone can contact his widow and help her out.  My thoughts go with her in how to dispose of what he may have.  Maybe someone can take the Ares and finish it for him.  DOC Holliday

I have been in contact with Jerries widow,she doing as well as expected and getting on with life as one has to.She said she contacted a local club there in Longmont(or nearby The Greeley Hobby Club)) and gave all of Jerries stuff(trains and finished planes)to them.She was glad to give them to people who appreciated Jerries efforts.

I am very sad to hear of Jerry's passing.  I had not heard from him in a whjile, but didn't tink much of it.  Not to hear this, it is truly sad.
