<... Does anyone know how to contact Paul's brother who was a witness ...>
I met him at the funeral.  Good guy.  I think he would be all for it.  He has his ideas (as do I) around the cause.  I don't think NTSB will shed any real light on anything.  I can contact him or give someone his number.  I think Carol would like to see a legitimate investigation too.  That said, I don't think there will be a smoking gun.  Like carb ice or vapor lock, the problem is gone by the time anyone gets to the scene, much less gets it all laid out in the barn to examine.  There were a couple of things about the design of his fuel system that made me uncomfortable because of problems I've had with my own system that I saw potentially replicated in his.  But I don't think anything like definitive finding is possible.

I'm way behind on my emails this week - been away ... Jim S.
