I think about AJ quite often. I still regret I didn't get to ride on Ivanpah with him and be able to share my experiences with him getting to ride there. He was always so glad to help me with my questions about kiting.

i find myself thinking about aj all the time. in fact i have a picture of him in his buggy at nabx above my tv.
i remember him and meg coming to nyc and i took them to dinner. i`ll never forget it.
i remember when i buggied naked at nabx in 2003 aj being who he was, did it right after me on the same day.
RIP my friend. i`ll see you soon enough.

I also think about him frequently. I saw the kite that you made at WBB Glenn that we sent out over the water on the day we had the little service for him at WW.

Missing him too. I will never forget the early morning runs on the beach in Galveston with him.

Though I never had the honor of meeting him face to face, we chatted a bit here on the forum. He was always great about giving advice without making me feel dumb in the process. A few years back as some of you may remember, I fell on very bad times. When AJ found out, he made arrangements to have me come to OBX and work with him for the summer. Unfortunately I was unable to take him up on his amazingly generous offer, but to this day I am blown away that someone whom I had never met would be so giving.

Rest in peace my friend...
