Saved the lives of my father, brother, myself and a friend of my father's while doing touch and go landings in a high performance Bellanca aircraft my father owned. Was sitting in the back seat next to my brother Ray Jr., when I just happened to look up out of the window, while touching down on the runway, and saw a Tri Pacer about ten feet up and directly above us making a landing. It was about to land right on top of us! I screamed to my father, PULL OUT, PULL OUT!! He jammed the thorottle all the way in and we just barely pulled out from under the Tri Pacer. We came back around and landed. When we taxied in their were a bunch of people who had been watching and they said they thought we were done for. Thank God my father did what I screamed at him to do or we probably would have all been killed! Have beem married three times and have a son by each one, Robert Jr, Patrick and Christoper.
