I had the misfortune to pick up the Charlotte Observer this morning and read 
the obituary of Claire Bradford.  I know none of you knew her, but she was a 
flight instructor down at Carowings Flight Service in Rock Hill, SC at the 
same time I was one of their charter pilots.
She left Carowings, taught at Southeast Airmotive for a while, then managed 
to get hired by CCAir (USAir Express) where she flew Jetstreams.  From there, 
there was a stint at American Eagle, followed by a 1st Officer slot on the 
B-737 with United Airlines.
For reasons I don't know, she subsequently left United (furloughed?) and was 
working for AOPA in Frederick, MD when she died.  (I have no idea of what.)
She leaves a daughter behind.  Claire was 39.
Damn.
