I was contacted this morning by someone asking for rights to a photo I had taken, years ago, of Eric Hertz. Eric was an incredibly decent man with the joie de vivre that carried into all interests h had. A former student pilot, I asked about a model plane on his desk; he said it was his plane, and they gave you a model when you bought one. That plane was located off the coast of New Zealand; Eric and his wife Kathy are presumed dead. Horrible news, best wishes for his family and friends.
