No, but the (so called)Murphy Beech 18 could have been the same AC. Lenny Potts once told me that Murphy never completely paid him for the plane, so I guess it was still Lenny's. After M. Schultz wrecked it, I don't know if it was repaired or not - but it could have been, and re-sold. Can't help you here. After I quit jumping in '73, I never went back to Ridgely 'till about ten years ago in my 182. There's a bunch of us Pelicans who settled in the Annapolis(Edgewater) area: Wayne Beall, Tinker Shoemaker, Billy Gifford, John Neate, me, and Bob Holler lived here too before he died in '98. Freddy Graff lives in Acokeek.
One of the original Pelicans, John Kaleo died last year at 71. He lived in Davidsonville. Mike Schultz lives in Crofton, and Johnny and Sandy Crews live right up route 97 near Lithicum. Kevin Burke lives near Baltimore. We still get together quite often, and tell lies.
