John
Konecki
1950-1992
John died in a plane
crash in September of 92. I can't tell you
how much loosing him hurts. John was an
adventure in life. The tragedy of
his death, the lost energy of his life.
The world is a smaller place without him.
Everyone on our team was special. John was
exceptionally special. I respected his
adventuress outlook on life and his sense
of humor. He was the Station Manager, our
'Leader'. A tough job to fill. I couldn't
have asked for a better 'Leader" or a
more respectable friend.
John was the author of
the Station Sitreps and a major
contributor to the PSBWFPWL. Reading them
will tell you a lot about John.

Captain John.
One of my favorites.
|
John loved flying. He brought a remote
control airplane to The Ice for a hobby.
You can see the exhilaration in his face
after he flew his plane around the
glacier.

John the co-pilot.

John with his thinking cap on.

John and George (Scooter), Pat was on drum
and Jerry was singing backup.
Actually, this was the clean up party
after the food fight, but that's another
story!
|
John would help out as station Barber.
Here he's helping Duane give Scooter 'a
shine'.
This was an incredible night, the
night before the last ship left. Many of
us shaved our heads, just to show we were
not going to try to jump on that last
ship!
