Graeme,
What an amazing life he led. I knew about the Ercoupe and his Piper legacy, but I didn't know that he designed the NACA cowl.
A little side-note. The graduates of Texas A & M (as it is universally known) proudly call themselves "Texas Aggies", so it is fitting that the Ag-1 was designed there. The university is in College Station, which has a population of 100,000 of which 60% are students and staff, so the city has an empty feel to it during vacations, as I discovered one Christmas.
I'm going out to celebrate my birthday with some friends and to lift a famous quote, "and maybe some time."
So Open House.
