Taken at the most recent quarterly MGL lunch at Brann's restaurant. There were a total of 31 former MGL people there, with honors going to Peter Cook who will be 95 on May 8. Some had to leave before the group shot was taken, but Ted was able to get the photo you see above.

"Still flying high at 90." 
Peter flew from the old MGL office parking lot up and over the NE and NW side of GR before heading back to land at the airport.  He loved it and loved all "the buttons" and observing the pilot. It looks like he's flying this craft but he isn't. So, no need to panic!
