Yes, I also knew Vance and had a enlightening exchange concerning propeller 
selection - Vance was an advocate of swinging the largest  diameter 
propeller you could put on your aircraft and turn. He often provided a 
counter point to Paul in discussions but never got booted from the list.  It 
is indeed a sad loss.
