This is memory of my step son, Frank J. Gonzalez, who was killed in a plane crash yesterday that he was piloting. He was an exec with UPS, and flew after work and on weekends. Flying was his dream and what he loved. Corporations hired him to fly their people places. The preliminary findings show that it was NOT Pilot error. And my paintings today are in his honor and memory and the memory of the 2 who went down with him.
