Thank you for having a memorial for flights 383/128 on November 20,2010. My sister and I and our husbands thought the event was very nice. Thanks also to Linda and Mark for taking us to the crash site of flight 383 that our dad, William Kolb, was on. None of us, I have 3 sisters, had been to the area to look for the crash site. I feel like it helped us understand more of what happend that dreadful evening. The website is great. I am glued to my computer as are my sisters. Thanks for putting all this together. SincerelyDenise (Kolb) Walsh
I sit now in the very room where I was told 45 years ago at the age of 6 that my grandparents would not be coming home to see me that night, in fact they would not be coming home at all. Thanks for what you are doing. My grandparents were Elmer McAtee & Martha McAtee. I believe it is spelled wrong on the pax list you have. I went on to be an employee at CVG & always loved being at the airport as well as flying. I often looked at my pax list as I closed my flights & thought of the importance of it being correct. Love the website & what you are doing. Thanks Sharon McAdams
Fascinating web site. A memorial was a long time in coming. I very much remember both accidents, I most remember driving by the crash site of American flight 383 with my parents a day or so after the accident. I never forgot what I saw and smelled that day , as an 8 year old boy, it was a lot to take in , I have never seen anything like it since. I remember driving with my friends in the 70's along route 8 and would always point out the spot. To this day I still think of those accidents every year at this time. It had a profound impact on me as a child and as an adult. I worked for Comair for 22 years, 8 of which was at the facility on Aviation boulevard, right next to where flight 128 crashed. Would very much like to be apart of this. Thank you.

Nov. 8th was my Dad's birthday. I was a Franciscan Brother at Mt.Alverno-Delhi -My name then was bro. Keith. We had 120 boys -12-15 yrs .I was the Athletic Dir. coach. That night we put on a movie at 7:00 for the boys. I went outside to have a cigarette. The roar ,the plane was in slow motion-It was very close to me. The lights were on in the cabin-Faces were clear,shades were up-I think maroon was the stewardess uniform. A boy with glasses had his face on the window- I wonder if he saw me-I wonder if he survived- that picture will always be with me--it was like slow motion--God bless all --the boys face ...I think I was the last one to see them alive.Good to relive it--but bad to remember.
