Marvin Earl’s Pride & Joy

Marvin loved flying, and built the plane in the forefront from a kit. He also owned the plane in the background. The plane in front was the one he crashed on Father’s Day, not long after this picture was taken. He tried to fly out of a field near our home, and didn’t have enough room to get the altitude he needed. The plane burst into flames upon crashing, and he was burned over 95% of his body. He survived for three days at the Chapel Hill Burn Center.
