I was in Aspen in December following the death of Lance Reventlow. Rumor had it that he was sitting in the back seat and that a student and an instructor were in the front seat. The ski bum community was devastated by his death. You may remember that he had been married to Jill St. Joan and she got his Scarab in the diverce settlement. I went through the gated community "Starwood" where she had a house, but I never saw her. His death was a tragic loss. Here is the NTSB report. If you have any other information please send it to me.
