Everyone has a story involving John Marquardt — and many took place in a small airplane. Take Alex Davison for example. Davison learned to fly at the instruction of Mar- quardt in 1984.

As I sit here in front of the computer and look back at 2018, I'm feeling tired. And getting more so. That was a truly busy year, both physically and mentally. Mostly the year was spent preparing for the next chapter of my life, retirement.
