[edit] Plane Crash

Note at the bottom of the page indicates that Davis Love Sr. did not die in plane crash. However, the writer of the note did not edit the page to remove the reference. Although I am a resident of Brunswick/Glynn County (and was at time of crash), I do not recall coverage mentioning Mr. Love. I am editing the page to remove the reference, since it is in doubt.

I would hope Brunswick might be known for something other than the plane crash.

I discovered a reference to the death of Davis Love II, the father of Davis Love III, at the PGA tour web site.

• Davis Love III Biographical Info

The page is the biographical page of David Love III. It references his father's tragic death in a plane crash in 1988. The ASA crash was in 1991. It is possible that Davis Love, III's grandfather (Davis Love, Sr) was on the plane with John Tower, but I have yet been able to find a list of the passengers of the flight.

There were two different plane crashes. The one Davis Love the III was on left out of St. Simons Island to Jacksonville, (1988) not sure of the airline. The ASA flight was coming into Brunswick, GA from Atlanta (1991).

[edit] School info

I would like to know the source for the cited reasons for Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) probation. I suggest including SACS in the text, if this Board of Education info remains.

[edit] Sidney Lanier Bridge Tower Height

The plan page from GADOT dated Aug 96 showed elevation at the top of the support towers to be 460 feet. However, the GADOT web site shows the elevation to be 480 feet. Barring additional info, I changed it to reflect the web site info, on the theory that it was entered more recently and may reflect design changes after Sept 96. -WCFrancis 16:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Another page on the GADOT site states "The towers are 486 feet tall from the top of the footing to the top of the tower." -WCFrancis 16:26, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
