FYI, I understand that our normal space was taken on the FIRST DAY that Scholler was open! So watch this space for the location. I'll try to remember to use MyThreeWords.

July 14 is when it’s going to be staked out.

On Saturday August 14, 2021 at 11:00am CT we’ll have a memorial to Mike at Campbell Airport, C81. Catering by Portillo’s. Please RSVP so we have enough food! Fly-ins are encouraged! Joan waited so COVID won’t be as much of a concern.

Mike will be included in the EAA Memorial Ceremony at OSH '21 on August 1 at 10AM. Please let me know if you're planning to attend BY 1 JULY so I can add you to the RSVP list. I don't know how they're going to work it this year with COVID. I think that I can get parking passes if you want to...

We are having the jambalaya & chili party this year. Find the thread and respond. :) I'm not calling it the HOPS party, that's Jay and Mary's moniker, but y'all are invited! We intentionally did not do it on Wednesday when we started to avoid their turf! Jay and Mary and the "kids" can attest to...

Hey, we're having a jambalaya and chili party at Camp Bacon on Tuesday! (See the thread I just posted.) If you want to bring beer to that and wear a HOPS T-shirt from years past, it's all good!

WHAT: The (almost) annual PoA/Babes/BaconFest Jambalaya and Chili party. Yes, we missed last year, but so did (most of) you! WHEN: Tuesday evening of OSH, as in years past. Currently plan to start appetizers around 7:15 and the Jambalaya & chili around 7:30. COVID Preparation: We’ll have...

Okay, we've just pulled the trigger. We rented the RV and will be driving it up from Chicago. Perhaps no HOPS party this year(?) but we're still planning on the jambalaya night in Camp Bacon!

The cabins are back open, and we've booked one for Labor Day weekend!

My last logged flight was returning N284M to Mike when he got his medical back. That was, as EdFred said (scary, I know), June 2017, so almost 4 years ago. Leslie's been out of the cockpit even longer. Our rental place is under new management, and we have other issues too. We hope to get back up...

Well, if @lprellwitz and I were still flying, we'd definitely be part of the Midwest group, living in the center of the universe and all! :) @ScottM and @bbchien are Midwest too.

Mary and Jay, congratulations on a well-earned retirement! We haven't even decided if we're going to OSH this year, and already host our own party. No way can we take over a second! I'm sure you'll find someone worthy to carry the torch (or lighted beacon, as the case may be!)!

Okay, we're trying to figure out where we stand. As of today, we're both vaccinated, so will be "safe." That doesn't mean we're SAFE. @Over Will Camp Bacon be happening this year? Can we get a rental unit from Van Boxtrel? Is there an interest in the Jambalaya Party? Planning is exceedingly...

According to the Wall Street Journal, It looks like Dr. Petitt now has a lawyer, and she prevailed before the Dept of Labor administrative law judge and was awarded $500K in compensatory damages. Delta is expected to appeal. Issued before Christmas, the ruling contains strong criticism of...

Thanks Kent. We have raised enough for the plaque, but I'm leaving it open a while to allow others to contribute. I want to express my thanks, and thanks on behalf of Joan, for the generosity of ALL who donated to the EAA in Mike's name!

For those interested in contributing to his EAA memorial, I've set up a GoFundMe page so the money flows directly to EAA rather than passing through me. https://www.gofundme.com/f/mike-andrews-eaa-memorial?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1

Mike's obituary was just posted: https://www.strangfuneral.org/michael-p-andrews/ I'll ping those who've expressed an interest in the memorial plaque. We have a bit of time.

I spoke with Joan today, and she asked me to pass along her thanks for all the nice comments here. And the idea of Dr Bruce being #6 is kind of weird. I always thought he is not a number, but is a free man! And if Evil Greebo is #2? Hmmmmm...

The link to her obituary is no longer valid, so I'm uploading it here, though I can't seem to attach the PDF. She's worth remembering. I also need to track down the photo of the plaque and post it! BARBARA "Moxie" BRINCK 1951 – 2011 Life is what made Moxie fly Tailwinds at her back she...

Correction: It was his 65th birthday. I had it wrong too. :confused: His personality was younger than his physical age! And some additional information from Joan. Mike will be cremated, and a memorial celebration of life will be held at a later date to avoid being a super-spreader event...
