Thanks for setting the record straght, - I have this photo on file but did not know it was Fred who was master of the skies on Christmas night. I reused it, without permission, in this year's Greetings to fellow Nordic Seareyers. Great photo!

Tis the season

It does not seem it was 11 years ago when we did this photo shoot for the newspaper. It is nice to see it again and being able
to wish a Merry Christmas to the Searey flying friends.

Got snow this year, Fred? Isn't it about time you and Beverly came back to Florida?

It's a great Christmas present to see you checking in.

...and I heard him exclaim as he road out of sight, ""If I had a new Searey, this wouldn't take all night"".

Merry Christmas to all my Searey Buddies!!

Good thinking, Dave!

Nineteen years of "SeareySanta" so far. The photo has outlived a good many of its original viewers (including Fred) but it never gets old.

When I posted it to the cover pic this morning, it brought back
some great memories of Fred and how he had planned to give
me some instruction. A great guy.
