JLKnolla Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 A real tragedy. I met Vickie when Beagle and I flew up to Golden West back in June, very nice and gracious lady. This is a terrible loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMann Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 A gal I went to high school with was on the US Team and was there. Needless to say, it unsettled most of the team. She did win the US title last weekend here in the unlimited catagory.

Cozy Girrrl Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Very sad, I had briefly seen her the last time they showed the Berkut at Osh and later talked to her on the phone about parts, it somehow makes it more personal when you have that thin thread of a once upon a time connection, a face, a voice, inflections, impressions of a personality. I did not know her yet feel a loss still. Seems we lose two or three a year and we can only console our loss by reminding ourselves they were out there doing what they loved the most. Godspeed Vickie, see you in the Summerland. Quote CG Products www.CozyGirrrl.com Cozy Mk-IV RG 13B Turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
