Impression
B100 captures the heart of the Briers Family
by MeLinda Schnyder
When Ray Briers returned from a trip to the Bahamas with his family earlier this year, his team at The Pipe Yard, Inc.—the pipe purchasing and cleaning company he owns near Houston, Texas—fell in love with a photo Ray showed them.
It wasn’t one of the images showing the family having fun among the beautiful turquoise waters and white sand beaches that Staniel Cay is known for—though, those photos were stunning—but rather a photo of 21⁄2-year-old Geddy Lee Briers strapped in his car seat in the cabin of his dad’s 1978 Beechcraft King Air B100.
“During the flight to Exumas in the Bahamas, Geddy
decided to relax and look through King Air magazine,”
Paulina Biscamp, who works in accounting at The Pipe
Yard, wrote in an email that included two photos of Geddy Lee looking captivated by the magazine. “These pictures are priceless and we wanted to share them with the staff of King Air magazine!”
Geddy Lee is named after the lead singer of the rock band Rush, one of his dad’s favorite bands. Ray says his son loves opening our magazine, not just any magazine, and looking at all the pictures.
