Re: Errol Roberson "Puffin"

BillRo,

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! I hope the contributor doesn't mind, but I do plan on printing that and having it framed. That is the first time in years any piece of poetry has caused my eyes to tear.

I would like to say more, but at this point, I am a bit overwhelmed.

Thank you to everyone who has responded to my post. You will never know how much it has meant to me.

Anyone interested???

I'm in, as long as there is a raceplane on the shirt.
You could use the NAG shack in the pits and the bulletin board for any announcements you might want to post. We are usually located between the UNLTD's and the T-6's on the ramp, with access to the "facilities" and food vendors. Space permitting, hope to have a picnic table and benches this year. Will know space allotment shortly after PRS.

Re: Errol Roberson "Puffin"

Errol Roberson flew for Kodiak Airways in Kodiak Alaska in the mid 70's. I have a website exploring where the Grumman Gooses and Widgeons that were flown from the 50's to the 80's in Kodiak have ended up. I am also looking for pictures of the pilots of these planes. Errol flew a widgeon in the 70's for awhile, and I am trying to locate a picture of him for my pilots section. If anyone has a picture of him, I would appreciate to be able to use it on my web site. Thanks, Guy Denton

My name is Karen. My father was Errol Roberson who was fatally injured in 1989 while racing the Puffin. I would love to hear from anyone who knew my father, or who may possibly have pictures. I was quite young when he passed, and as all children are as they get older, very curious.

I was only able to make one race, but I remember it was all he talked about for months before and months after.

Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Karen, I have a friend that flew with your husband in Kodiak 35 years ago. He would like to get in touch with you. Get a hold of me if you can.
