Hi Tim, I was in Atlanta for the month of October, but am in Baton Rouge now.I'm working for Atlantic Southeast Airlines as an A&P at their facility herein Baton Rouge. I was offered the job in Baton Rouge, before they offered Atlanta,and they rescinded the Atlanta offer, when they found out the Baton Rougemanager had called me first. I might have liked Atlanta better, because AircraftSpruce has the East Coast store there, and also, there is some paraglidingon the east side of Atlanta, and hang gliding in Chattanooga. The way thingsare working out, I am probably better off in Baton Rouge.--------HOMEBUILDERWill WORK for SpruceLong flights, smooth air, and soft landings,GliderMike, aka Mike GlasgowRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: Pietenpol-List: Merry Christmas and Thank You All,I wish to take a few moments and not only wish everyone a Merry Christmas,but to all, a very heart felt "Thank You" for your prayers. As Jack pointedout a few weeks ago, I am in a cancer trial that is currently putting mycancer (LeioMyoSarcoma) into remission. Very rare. There is no doubt in mymind that this is all coming about because of the prayers offered for me. Idon't know how to properly thank you, but I just want you to know how muchit has meant to me as I go thru the Chemo. I'm a fighter and not aboutto easily give up, so keep them coming!My wife and I are already planning on Broadhead 2011 (our first timethere). As as soon as it warms up here I hope to start work on my shop,(itneeds to be gutted and reworked, (shop is 24' X 55') getting it ready tostart building. Hopefully by early summer. We'll see. The chemo is prettyhard on me but if I use the good days for building and the rough days forplanning, I will make progress. I need to learn the art of wood grading andselection. I'll make the decision of which Piet I will build and what woodI will use after we attend Broadhead. I really miss N502R so it willprobably be another long body, but I'm open minded. I fly every day I can(Kolb Firestar XKP), but so far, between chemo and the weather I haven'tbeen up in several weeks.This is the best list there is. Keep it coming. Love the photos, questionsand answers. So much good info coming across the screen on a daily basis.It has really helped me get thru the rough days and I learn so much.Thanks to all of you. You have been such a blessing to me.Gene In Beautiful (1/2" snow on the ground) Western Tennesseeprevious caretaker of N502R________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Fwd: Where are you, Mike Glasgow?
