Subject: Pietenpol-List: Inspiring others---thank you Jack Textor!!*Thank you kindly Jack and I'm so glad you are sticking with your beautifulPietenpol project!!! **For those of you who haven't seen the stellar craftsmanship that Jack haspoured into his Pietenpol go to his web site and check out his constructionphotos---this is worth a look-see. **I just saw on FB that Dan Helsper (who got weathered in at Oshkosh today)was handed a notice that he won some kind of an award for his gorgeousPietenpol. The awards will be announced Saturday evening. What agorgeous Pietenpol and a builder who gladly shares his knowledge andexpertise. **Frank Pavliga and his Dad were the two gents who inspired me to build myPietenpol. I couldn't even pronounce Pietenpol when I met Frank but aftertwo rides and him graciously allowing me to fly Sky Gypsy I was SOLD OUTabout building my own. **18 years later I'm still sold out. **Passing on the passion is what this is all about---spreading the appeal ofthis marvelous little affordable and wonderfully proven homebuilt design!**Mike C.**Ohio*________________________________________________________________________________

Mike,Seeing your Piet featured in an EAA recap of Air venture ?98 or 99? - When I sawyour plane I said, "I have to have one of those!" It was years later whenI learned you had received the Bronze Lindy.Here it is 2016 and I've been building since 2011! You are to blame for gettingme hooked on this, but all 'blame' is on me starting out on this awesome journey.I am enjoying every step.
