Not Lennie. A resident of NV that has actually met and spent time around
Fossett. He's an ass.



I'm also a resident of NV who has actually met and spent time around
Fossett, though admittedly not a lot of time, and we've talked on the phone
a few times too. I found him as pleasant and unpretentious as most anyone
else I've met on the ramp. With few exceptions, I've found everyone I've met
in this sport to be intelligent and pleasant.

My brief in-person meeting of SF and a couple e-mails exchanged were
similar.

I think a lot of the negative comments and innuendo about Fossett are driven
by jealousy. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who is helping promote aviation
is okay by me. Calling someone an "ass" on ras is hardly polite.

Alas (tehe!) hardly unusual.
