Chuck made it just fine. The Brodhead group awarded Chuck an award for his travels.There was a HUGE turn out of people. The largest they've ever seen at a Pietenpolgathering.16 Pietenpols, several Hatz biplanes, a restored Curtiss Jenny, and the usual othermuseum pieces that always seem to show up.Good weather, good talk by William Wynne, good time....Greg CardinalMinneapolis ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Chuck's Brod head Arrival???????????Thanks Gary for the nice kind words. NO body can say they don't like a compliment even though they try to denigh it.I haven't heard from Chuck for several days so I decided to let those pilots on the scene, possibly with those lap top jobs, carry on the progressive narrative of the most spectactular Pietenpol adventure in 75 yars. I left Sunday for south Louisiana, I mean south just a few feet above Vemilion Bay to check on a few points about my acraege. Stayed with Jim Cooperand his lovely wife Edna Sunday nite, what a treat. Jim is building a beautiful GN-1and the workmanship is something to envy. I might add, I hope Jim won't mind, that he is the great grand son of the famous book author, Last of the Mohigans, James Fenimore Cooper. Drove home today, made better time than CharlieAveritt who ferried my Piet to Zapata, Tx. I hope that Charlie hookes up with someof those yankee professional journalistic types which seem to be in overabundance the convention days.Unless he asks, I'm not available any more.YKW in La.Off the record, a black bear was surprised last night going through this mans garbage can next door to where I was visiting. The new Louisiana license plate for auto says. Protect the Black Bear. What about the people. This animalhusbandry can be carried a bit tooooooo far________________________________________________________________________________

CorkyOur neighbors out in Montana are constantly being raided by Grizzly bears. Theyeat the chickens and tear up the buildings and fences. If you kill one you arein big trouble.Where are the priorities these days? Rumor has it that a 12 ga with a rock saltload helps.Dick ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Chuck's Brod head Arrival???????????I was wonderin what happened DJ. Doesn't it stink when work gets in the way of Piet progress?!!!! Well....that is until payday... (then I am soooo thankful for the blessing of having a good job.) I am looking forward to seeingyour site and the pics of Chucks trip. From the sounds of Corky's email...it seems that Chuck has changed his itenerary. He was planning to fly North fromBroadhead and cross lake Michigan at Macinac bridge. But it now sounds like hehas opted to take the shorter southern route to W. Virginia.________________________________________________________________________________
