To All,My wife and I along with our Nephew drove over to Brodhead on Saturday. We metRoman and our Nephew Brandon who is 8 years old got to sit in Roman's plane.If any of you ever have the chance to meet and talk with Roman do not pass upthe opportunity. Roman is one of those rare individuals who enjoys passing onthe information that he has spent a lifetime collecting. We then met Bill Rewey. Initially Brandon didn't think riding in a plane withno doors was a good Idea. After about an hour he asked me if I thought Bill wouldstill give him a ride. We walked over and Immediately Bill asked if someonehad had a change of heart. Brandon who loves rides on my Harley thought aboutit and I told him its like riding a Harley in the air. 10 minutes laterBrandon was strapped in the front seat, and Bill had his Piet running. 15 minuteslater the daring duo returned and Brandon was grinning like a possum.I can't begin to put into words all of the kindness that all of the pilots andbuilders showed, answering both my questions and the myriad of questions posedby an 8 year old, Brandon has already decided that he is going next year, he asked if I could takehim. I was 4 when a Man similar to Roman and Bill infected me with the loveof flight, I can only home that the Disease takes hold in this young avaitoras well.I have attached a pic of Bill and Brandon with Roman's plane in the background.My Prayers and thanks to allJake Spiegel and Brandon Clayton.--------"Be who you are and say what you think, those that mind don't matter, andthose that matter don't mind" Dr. SeussRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/copy ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: GN-1 jury struts

Well done, Shad!I enjoyed our brief formation flight. Hopefully next year we can do it again with passengers and cameras for some good air-to-air footage.Dick Navratil and I made it home around 3:00pm to the Minneapolis area.Cheers!Greg Cardinal ----- Original Message -----
