Subject: Gary's Memorial

The Memorial Service for Gary Freeman is set. It will be held at the Pacific Helicopter Hangar, Kahului, Maui, Saturday, May 31, 2003 at 11:00. The Mortuary is, Ballard Family Mortuary, 440 Ala Makani St. Kahului, Maui, Hawaii, 96732. The phone there is 808-871-7911. Gary's Memorial will include FULL Military Honors including a LIVE bugaler.

The pilots at PacHelo are trying to get permission to place a marker at the crash site. Today, some of the guys approached the Comissioners that will administer the "Island Reserve" and they talked favorably. If anyone would desire to contribute to this fund I will be posting a bank account number in a couple of days. Of course if anyone wants to send flowers or messages i know the family will appreciate them. ALSO....it is too late to mail anything from the mainland so i will INDIVIDUALLY give Blue Ghost and other friends, Cindy's address so you may mail her direct at a later date

Things may seem to be moving slowly but remember we are on an "Island" 2000 miles from the West Coast. Believe me being on MAUI TIME is DIFFERENT. The autopsy was completed late today and Gary will be at the Mortuary tomorrow.

We are doing everything we can to comfort Cindy and Gary's sons from this great distance. They will arrive here on Friday and be here for a few days. Their visit will include a flyover of the crash site (their request) . Being a former bombing range and covered in unexploaded ordinance they cannot get out of the helicopter in the area of the crash. Also on this flight we will sprinkle Gary's ashes on Maui in a place yet to be determined.

If anyone has questions or suggestions you can contact me at the hangar 808-871-9771 after 9am HAWAII time.

The DUCK
