Guestbook at http://legacy.com/cjonline/LegacySubPage2.asp?Page=GuestBook&PersonID=15664238 Published in the Topeka Capital-Journal on 11/12/2005 Old Chester, what a guy, very quiet and never said much to anyone. Small in stature, bespeckled with a quick temper. The antics of Chet and Chan Lee Ju were notorious, you didn't get between those two when they were having words or somebody was going to get hurt. Seems strange when you read an Obituary - the memory's come flooding back to you. -Jim Taylor (12/1/05) FLacebook - FL Club FLight West: Chet Poell DEN lead aircraft mechanic Chet Poell's memorial webpage has been upgraded: http://FAL-1.tripod.Chet_Poell.html Moved to a non-ad website, several items added and page updated.
