Every one has now gone on their way back home and the wife and I now have to cope with the quiet of a house once full of celebration and happy chatter and yes, a bit of bull as well. Every one that was here was a real character, and a pleasure to be around. With eight people all sharing one bathroom and a table too small for such a large group, it went surprisingly well. Every one chipped in doing their share and more if one did not watch them closely. It was a great time for us and the highlight of our spring, and we are grateful that they chose to share that time with us.
We made a trip to visit John Williamson and reflect on his visits and how much all of us miss him and his cheerful personality.

I am one of those people who read the Kolb list every day but rarely contribute anything. It is not for lack of understanding Kolb fun - I built one of the first Firestars in the late 80's - but lack of participation. I sold the Firestar 15 years ago to get a 2 place something or other and all I have to fly right now is a Comanche, but I look forward to buying a Mark III Extra sometime soon. It will have to be a completed and flying one because I work in a town 200 miles from my home and building would take decades, but I am more a flyer than a builder anyway......
What brings me to write today is to say that even though I am a "lurker" rather than a contributor, I am struck by the warmth and fellowship shared by so many here. So many groups on the internet are always competing with one another, sniping, flaming, and so on. But you all chew the fat as if you grew up together and you make me feel like a distant member of this fun family. Larry's note is only one example, but a fine one that exemplifies the best about your group.
Perhaps we will meet someday at a flyin, but even if we never do, thank you for making me feel welcome.

Larry and ms Karen,
Thanks too much!
Truly appreciate all the trouble and the effort you and ms Karen had to go through for us. The groceries were great! I kinda had hopes of loosing a few pounds being out on the road, but your cooking ruined that.
I know it never rains there and you have to put up with a bit of wind at times. Not always 6-10, right down the runway  !!!! but you have some remarkable territory to aviate over there. I could spend months there before I would come close to seeing it all.
Meeting Roger Hankins was a big highlight. Roger and I probably should not spend to much time together, too much creative mischief in one place.
It was a very special week for me at your place. Words aren't enough to express my appreciation.
Thanks for all!

I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for. |
