Brodhead Pietenpol Association

Original Posted By: "Douwe Blumberg"
Got back from Brodhead last night. Saw many old friends and met many new ones. A successful event. Not as many Piets as expected. I counted 15 total. Someone else correct me if my number is in error. Thanks to Kevin and Don for constantly giving rides.Ed Fisher did a presentation about resurrecting the Sport Aviation Association. Many joined or rejoined and others will send checks when they get home as I will.Ed's address is as followsSport Aviation Assocc/o Ed Fisher361 Whiteplains PlaceGilbert, S. C. 29054I was a member all the time Paul published the old SAA magazine. I think it's a great idea to have a "grass roots" type magazine for all of us that don't want to read about someone's $150,00 turbine powered plane or the "hollywood type" rich people. I fully support what Ed's is trying to do and I hope you will too.Enough is enough,I'm off my soap box.Take care,P. F.

Pieters,Yesterday afternoon, our beloved and well respected Kevin Purtee had an accident upon leaving Brodhead airport, bound for TX. There were three of us that witnessed the accident, myself, Gary Boothe, and Bill Church. I have been in contact with Shelly all along, and she has asked me to give a brief statement at this time. Kevin was airlifted to U of Wisconsin Madison hospital. He underwent surgery last night and is stable and doing well. There were no spinal or brain issues. I believe the prognosis to be good. Above all at this point, they both need our support, concerns, and prayers if you are inclined. Thank you, on behalf of Kevin and Shelly.Dan H________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:07:59 -0700 (PDT)
