Reid Craig Simpson
The Athens Review

Athens — ATHENS-Reid Craig Simpson was taken home to his Lord on Monday, August 16th after fighting a valiant battle against cancer.

Memorial services are scheduled for 2:00 P M Saturday at Carroll-Lehr Funeral Home, Athens.

Reid is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Carolyn “Lynn” Simpson, his sister, Diane Foshe, Des Moines, Iowa, his twin brother Roger Simpson, Weatherford, two daughters, Cindy Dunlap, San Antonio and Laura Lewis , Sacramento, CA, son Scott Simpson, Athens. His family also includes two sons in law Tom Dunlap and David Lewis, 5 grandchildren Jason Reid Lewis, Andrea Lewis, Travis Dunlap, Craig Dunlap, April Burba, two great grandchildren Isabella Lewis and Gabriel Lewis.

Reid and his twin brother, Roger, were born to Laura Simpson and Glenn Simpson on June 3, 1936 in Des Moines, Iowa.  Reid and Roger started their life long hobby of building and flying model airplanes in their youth and competed locally, nationally and internationally. They became well known and highly respected throughout the modeling community. Reid met Lynn in San Antonio while he was stationed at Lackland AFB in 1955. Theirs was a wonderful love story; they met on May 20th and were married August 20th of that same year. They were best friends who loved and served their Lord. They had the privilege of being one of the founding families of Hill Country Bible Church in Austin, where Reid served three terms as an elder. He was an inspiration to his friends and the church body with his godly leadership and example. They moved to Athens in 2001 where they became part of the body of Grace Community Church where he once again served as an elder. His love
 and passion for the Lord reflected in all that he was. Reid served 20 years in the US Air Force. Following his military career he worked as a computer programmer in Sacramento eventually moving to Austin where he worked for IBM until he retired in 1997.

Visitation for family and friends are 6-7 P M Thursday at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers the family would like donations made to Hospice of East Texas Foundation, 4111 University Blvd., Tyler, Texas 75701



Jack McGillivray

Sadly, I pass along news that Jack McGillivray has passed away. He was a real gentleman and great modeler. His "Blimp" unlimited rubber design was outstanding, as was just about everything else he built. A really good guy. He will be missed.

 Model Box Size

 With many domestic (USA) airlines now charging for checked baggage, I
decided to finally get around to checking the fine print in their procedures
to find out that the box I had been using for over a dozen years is oversize
and may be subject to excess baggage fees.  The current American Airlines
size maximum is 62 inches (length + width + height).  That restriction is
slightly more than I would need for safe packing of my current F1A
airplanes.  The box that I had used for several years measusres 72 inches.
 I would be interested to hear from others about their experience.  Do the
airlines adhere strictly to the stated limit?   Does anyone associated with
the airline check-in  procedure actually take time to measure a box?
