I find it simply incredible that a bunch of random people scattered widely aroundthe world, connected simply by an online airplane forum for a 1929 designedhomemade airplane, would rise to a challenge like this for a friend, set thegoal of raising $6000 in a week so that he can keep his airplane and his dreamof completing it and flying it, and only taking 2 days to do it. Such a tremendousoutpouring of kindness and generosity on Jim's behalf! The quality ofpeople on this list is second to none, and I'm honored to be a part of it, evenif I'm only a lurker who only posts maybe ten times a year.

I am convinced, now more than ever, that you guys are as good a group a peopleas I have ever known. I was one of the first people (I think) to commit to purchasing Jim's Piet, butafter thinking about it overnite I concluded that there is no way that I couldtake something from someone who obviously had put his heart and soul into somethinghe deeply cared about. I emailed Jim and withdrew my offer and decidedto become one of the Markle Miracle. I feel I can say that this was not aboutadding another aircraft to the group but rather showing someone what peoplethink of him. The night I spoke to Jim on the phone about buying the Piet Icould tell how he felt.I've never been to Broadhead...never ridden in a Piet...I'm too old to start a5-6 year project now, but I somehow have managed to feel a part of something special.Larry RaganOzarkFlyerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2010 08:56:20 -0600 (GMT-06:00)
