TheIndyChannel.com – News – Four Die In Plane Crash

WABASH, Ind. — A small plane crashed Saturday night, killing all four people on board.

Police said the plane went down just after 9 p.m. near West County Road 500 South in Wabash County.

The plane, 1967 Piper Cheyenne Six, was found in a bean field, police said.

Officials believe the plane’s right wing first made contact with the ground. Then, the plane flipped over and caught fire.

The four passengers were identified as John Swan, of Wabash, Kathy Swan, of Wabash, James D. Swan, 25, of Wabash and Vanessa Baer, 22, of North Urbana.

The National Transportation Safety Board was investigating to determine a cause of the crash.

Hard to believe this is true.
R.I.P.

Life’s too short to worry
Life’s too long to wait
Too short not to love everybody
Life’s too long to hate
Go Rest High on that Mountain!

I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren’t afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin’
Love for the Father and Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin’
Love for the Father and Son

I won a pair of these sunglasses!

It’s the month of May, so I’ll be at the track every chance I can get.

Last weekend I got to hang out in the pits during qualifying. Good times.

Also worked on something while I was up in Indy. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to announce what that is.

The Northfield Alumni Forums are officially open, so the word is starting to spread. Basically I just want a place where everyone could come (for free) instead of having to pay to see stuff at places like classmates.com. If we get most of our classmates registered at the site, it’ll be a big benefit in planning class reunions in the future.

My only other news is it looks like I will be losing my job because of BRAC. Really not that big of deal to me. I’ll find something else. It won’t become official that we are losing jobs at Crane until the end of the year, then it could be anytime between 2006 and 2011 or so when my job would actually go away.

I’m back home after a few days off.

Some highlights of my time off:
Leaving when there’s no snow in Mitchell, Mitchell getting 20″+ of snow, but it all melting by the time I arrive back home.
Matt and Neil doing snow angels in just their shorts and boots at night when it was probably around 6 degrees outside.
Going to Christmas Eve Service when it was -14 degrees.
Spilling the Communion crackers during the Christmas Eve service.
Making a snowman that was at least 8.5 ft tall.
Waking up at 1:30 am to help Dad fix a broken pipe in the well when it was 40 degrees outside (4 days after it had been -14 degrees).
And once again running around the house barefooted with my cousins to bring in the new year (eventhough the wife, finance, and girlfriend who were there didn’t join in on the fun )

Merry Christmas

Accorind to these definitions, those of us born in 1978 and 1979 or left out.

Generation Y. This generation, also tagged the millennial generation and the echo or boomlet generation, includes those born between 1980 and 2000. Generation Y is the most ethnically diverse generation yet and is more than three times the size of generation X. Gen Y teenagers have an average of $100 per week disposable income, and 40 percent of them hold at least a part-time job. One in four lives in a single-parent household and three out of four have working mothers.

Generation X. Generation X is a label applied to young adults who were born between 1965 and 1977. Originally tagged with a reputation of being selfish slackers, this generation has matured and is known for strong family values. While baby boomers strove to do better financially than their parents, gen Xers are more likely to focus on their relationship with their children.

Baby boomers. Born between the years of 1946 and 1964, baby boomers make up the largest segment of the U.S. population. By 1995, 80 percent of baby boomers had children living with them. Today, those on the leading edge of the boomer generation are becoming grandparents.
