From the MEM paper:


Police identify North Parkway crash victim
November 15, 2006

Memphis police said today that Brian Wolf, 37, is the motorist who died Tuesday in the fiery crash on North Parkway neaer Waldran Boulevard.

Witnesses told police the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette was traveling at high speed when it spun, hit a curb, then a tree and burst into flame. Wet pavement contributed to the crash, police said.

Firefighters found Wolf inside the car after they put out the fire. The crash happened shortly before 3 pm.

Didn't mean to make light of the loss of our compatriot. He has flown West...
My deepest condolences to family and friends.

Better that than, "Ask MaydayMark".

And my thoughts and prayers are with our recently departed newhire who died this week in a truly tragic accident.

Did your source think these would be coming NEW from Airbus...or something we will get used and convert??? If Airbus is trying to sell 330F and 340F would that indicate that they know there will never be a 380F??? We shall see...

Mark...are you getting any odds in Vegas yet??? Thanks for the TOC (topic of conversation) for my next trip.
