I think sometimes we take John Davis' wonderful column too much for granted because it is so steadfastly produced for every issue. I thoroughly enjoy the history he presents. In the current issue, I found the entries for Charles Parker's death and the comments regarding Wilbur, Sr. quite interesting. I've always had high regard for Wilbur, Sr. and feel a wider audience would know his name were it not for his untimely death.
