Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
Scheduled International Passenger Flight
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was a scheduled international passenger flight operated by Malaysia Airlines that disappeared on 8 March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to its destination, Beijing Capital International Airport. The crew of the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft last communicated with air traffic control around 38 minutes after takeoff when the flight was over the South China Sea. The aircraft was lost from ATC radar screens minutes later, but was tracked by military radar for another hour, deviating westwards from its planned flight path, crossing the Malay Peninsula and Andaman Sea. It left radar range 200 nautical miles northwest of Penang Island in northwestern Malaysia. With all 227 passengers and 12 crew aboard presumed dead, the disappearance of Flight 370 was the deadliest incident involving a Boeing 777 and the deadliest in Malaysia Airlines' history, until it was surpassed in both regards by Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 that was shot down while flying over eastern Ukraine, four months later. The combined loss caused significant financial problems for Malaysia Airlines, which was renationalised by the Malaysian government in December 2014.

Leon James Dwulet Jr. Obituary
Leon James Dwulet, Jr.
October 8, 1949 to October 25, 2016
Jim Dwulet tragically passed away Tuesday, October 25th, in an aviation accident. Jim grew up in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, and attended Peddie School. He played golf at Stanford University and won numerous amateur golf titles through his college years. Jim lived in the Orinda area for over 40 years, investing in and developing real estate. For 43 years, he made regular appearances at Stanford sporting events and tailgate parties. Despite his new west coast roots, Jim was a passionate Yankee fan throughout his life. He loved his sports and his wide circle of friends. Jim continued to play golf at a very competitive level and kept all his golf buddies laughing while he challenged them to play their best. Jim's passion for fly-fishing, in both salt-water flats and fresh water rivers, took him and his friends to remote places as often as possible. In 2015, Jim became a very proud and very adoring grandfather.

Jim is survived by his beloved daughter, Lauren, his precious seventeen-month-old grandson, James, son-in-law Greg Cosso, who became one of his best pals, and Lauren's step-brothers, Will and Nick. In addition, Jim is predeceased by his brother, Fred and survived by his sisters, Donna, Joan, and Caroline, brother, John, and numerous friends, who considered him family. Jim will be immeasurably missed.

A Celebration of Jim's life will be held on Friday, November 4th, at 1:30 pm at Orinda Country Club. Donations in his honor can be made to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (https://www.bcrfcure.org).
