Hello Everybody...Once again Sun N Fun is upon us. Yipppppeeeee!!!! For those of us south ofthe Mason Dixon line, this IS Oshkosh. If you plan on attending PLEASE consider volunteering a few hours if youcan. It takes many hundreds of people to pull it off and any help at all isappreciated, I've worked 8 of the last 10 years I have attended. I have metmany, many new friends, given a little and taken home a lot.This year we had a co-chairman for the hands-on workshops who had to backout just last week. I inherited the dubious honor of trying to pick up andproceed with plans for the wood workshop. The last few years with only aVERY, Very SMALL handful of volunteers we have managed to assemble ademo-version of a wooden fuselage - the idea being to provide the generalpublic, potential builders, or even experienced veterans with an idea ofbasic construction techniques for wooden aircraft. Amazingly enough itlooks just like a ..... PIETENPOL.This year we plan on building ribs, building tailfeathers, a turtle deck,and demonstrating construction of a laminated rudder (or something). But weneed volunteers. Please, if you plan on attending, consider offering up afew hours. Hey, I'll tell you during the hot part of the day, in FLORIDA,being under a tent is a good thing. You dont have to be an expert - we areall volunteers!Besides you can get a neat volunteer patch, free sandwiches and drinks forlunch, and get to meet hundreds of "airplane-heads" like we all are from allover the country and world. I wont name drop, but you also may get to meetsome really knowledgable people (and even a little famous?)If you would care to volunteer in our shop please contact me at850-921-9035 work 9-5921-246-1389 home after 7Or when you get to SNF just look for the volunteer booth(s). They will putyou to work somewhere BUT I garauntee picking up trash or taking up ticketswon't be near as much fun as talking about or building airplanes .Sorry for the commercial. But if you make it to SNF, come by the hands-onworkshops and say hello.See You at SNF,Bert ConolyBainbridge, Ga (Almost Tallahassee)________________________________________________________________________________
