Hey, my name is Elizabeth Anagnostis. Doc Anagnostis was my grandfather. I found this forum by Googling my last name. I was so touched to see all the posts about my Papoo. Thank you all so much for sharing your memories. I turned 18 a week after he died, so I feel my time with him was cut short and it makes your stories all the more precious. Here is a fun story about Doc that many of you probably never heard. Papoo and his girlfriend Edith came up to Bryan/College Station for an air show in 91 or 92. I went out to the field with them and Papoo asked me to be his bombadier in a target competition. He sternly warned me to throw the bag of flour out exactly when he said. I did so the first two times, but I hesitated on the third pass over the target. That's because we were nowhere near the target. We were over some road and there was a truck down below. After he cussed at me a bit, I threw the flour and then there was silence. Finally, he asked me what that truck was doing on the runway. I told him it's because we weren't over the gd runway. We continued to cuss and fuss at each other all the way down to the ground and walking away from the plane. I think we amused many people around. I earned some ouzo for being a good sport. I would love to hear more stories about my grandpa and see pictures if you have any. Thanks so much for sharing. Elizabeth Anagnostis
