I was checking my email a little while ago and was a bit shocked by the news i recieved. In an email from N10387CGs mother. About a month ago him and some friends were in a bad car accident. 2 were killed. He was one of them. There was not much info other than she had been looking through some of his old notebooks and papers and found a list of email addresses for friends. She emailed to all to let anyone know what had happened for anyone who might not.
I had met N10387CG while playing pool on yahoo a long time ago. I was just starting to get an interest in flight sim and was looking for some help. While playing pool I randomly asked if anyone knew of a good website for FS. He was the only one who replyed. He had told me of this site and the forums full of help. I never became a member but ocasionaly browsed the forum for any info i could use. N and I talked ocasionaly over messenger (mainly about FS) and was surprised to find out how much we had in common. But one day he said he was tired of the sim and was giving it up. I never heard from him again.
He was 16 and lived from 10-3-1987 to June 2004. One thing we did not know about each other was that we shared the same birthday, October 3, 1987. It had never went through my head untill now as to what the 10387 stood for.
One thing I have learned from this is not to take life for granted. It can end as quickly as it begins :-/
