JohnMitchell 16 #4 September 2, 2012 Damn, I hope he heals fast. Those power lines on approach ends are killers.I also enjoyed this book: "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah," I've also read some of his non-fiction, talking about flying thru some of the airspace I work. I like to think I might have talked to him on the radio once or twice. Hang tough, Richard. We're pulling for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UPDATE http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2020173139_bachjenniferxml.html Published in 1970, “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” told, in three parts, the story of a seagull who refused to conform and longed for a life beyond that of his flock. The book was an international best-seller that inspired legions of fans and a film with a soundtrack by Neil Diamond. “When it was written there were four parts of the book,” said Bach, explaining the never-completed fourth part. But Bach recently finished the fourth section of “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” and mailed it off to his publisher a few weeks ago. Bach’s family says he had written the fourth section when he completed the book, but what he went through inspired him to go through a final edit, make some changes and send it off to his publisher. In the new section, the flock struggles to find meaning. They first worship Jonathan, then, as the years pass, he’s written off as a myth. But, eventually, a message of hope comes though when Jonathan returns. “He’s just there to make things a little more at ease ... like Sabryna,” Bach said. Sabryna Bach, 42, shies away from any attention. She says Bach’s work on the book has given him the confidence to get his recovery completely on track. “He saw that his intellect was untouched [by the crash],” she said. “After that he did a 180.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
