John Travolta's 16 year old son dies.

[Cinder & Smoke]

John Travolta is a very kind and talanted individual ...

From Wikipedia > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Travolta

"Travolta married actress Kelly Preston in 1991. They have a daughter named Ella Bleu
(born in 2000). Their son Jett, who was born 1992, died at the age of 16 on January 2, 2009
after a seizure during a family holiday in the Bahamas. Jett had suffered from Kawasaki disease,
which can cause a variety of painful side effects, including seizures, and
sometimes lead to heart problems.

Travolta is a certified pilot and owns five aircraft, including an ex-Australian
Boeing 707-138 airliner. The plane bears the name Jett Clipper Ella in honor of his children.
Pan American World Airways was a large operator of the Boeing 707 and used Clipper in its names.
The 707 aircraft bears the marks of Qantas, as Travolta acts as an official goodwill ambassador
for the airline wherever he flies. His $4.9 million estate in the Jumbolair subdivision in
Ocala, Florida is situated on Greystone Airport with its own runway and taxiway right to the door."

That is so very, very sad. I have always had much admiration for John Travolta and his family.

Godspeed, Jett.
