BChildish

With great sadness I want to honor one of or crew members who recently passed. Brian Childs has passed away from metastatic melanoma. His personality and flair for life is something that has made an impact on all those who met him. Our base that is decorated with Brian's art will always be a reminder of the type of special individual he was. In honor of Brian, always Bchildish.
