The worlds a sadder place today we lost a great man yesterday. Paul H. Poberezny, 1921-2013.
I’ve often written that I’ve been blessed in life by the people I’ve known. Paul was one of those people to me and millions of others!
Paul stood in front of us to protect our mutual interest.
Paul inspired us vocally, in writing or with a board smile and a kind word.
Paul lead us, not from the podium, but by rolling up his selves and pitching in beside us.
Paul ask or suggested and thousands pitched in and did it.
Paul was equally at home with kings and peasants separably or together and all liked him.
Paul was a teacher again by rolling up his selves and pitching in beside us.
Paul was a patriot in the AAC and then a long career in the Wisconsin Air National Guard.
Paul H. Poberezny, Founder, Long time President and Chairman of the Experiential Aircraft Association, a friend, an inspiration to so many world wide, RIP!
The world was a better place because of Paul, it’s a sadder place today.
From reading his stories in Popular Mechanics in the ‘50's to meeting the man in 1970 and being involved in the EAA for the next 14 years I was truly blessed. Brenda and I were just two of hundreds of thousands.
