Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fred "The Hulk" Beseler & Chuckie GantzerMan, Old Iron Butt himself, gotta give a big credit to Chuck Gantzer for making it from Kansas for the fourthyear in a row in his Smoker Special Air Camper. Way to go, Chuck. I am going to be a woose and drive upin comfortable air conditioning--and will love every mile of it. (it was downright scary flying home last year)Got to meet many of you fine folks last year at Brodhead and Fred Beseler was one. Fred looks like he couldput you up against a wall as a bouncer in a club, but is a friendly and enthusiastic Piet builder.By the way Fred--I cheated too in buying a set of Charlie Ruebeck ribs. Charlie did some very, very nice work.I heard from someone that though Charlie built many sets over the years that mine were the first (that he had heard of)to fly in 1998. Not sure how true that is but no better tribute than for you and others to get more sets of thoseRuebeck ribs in the air !Mike C.________________________________________________________________________________
