Duke Elegant

I am relatively new to AvCanada I like to read the posts, don’t comment often. So I have lurker status mostly I suppose. But Friday I started poking around the Avcanada wall and found the Duke. If you have not visited the Duke you should! What an enjoyable read. An amazing life, helluva story teller. Thanks AvCanada. At the end you will find yourself missing a man you’ve never met. Thanks Duke!

Not many pilots could get a King Air into a 1800 ft gravel strip pick up a load of loggers and get airborne again :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I have been led to believe that Les and Cat were twins only they have different mothers and different fathers :smt040

Hard to believe in 5 days (?) it will be 5 years since Les left us :(

A good read indeed for any who have not read his stories!

Just bumping this up.
For anyone who hasn't read his writing; go to AvCanada's Wall.
Priceless stuff and great writing from a real character.

Does anyone know where Cathy ( his wife ) is now?
Tried looking her up in Chilliwack a year or so ago and no luck.

You can pm me if you prefer.

Thanks for posting this. I would have never found Duke's stories otherwise.
