Back row is Leslie @lprellwitz and Grant @gprellwitz , Joan and Mike @mikea, Joe Zubay (Mike's CFI) and Joe's wife. Front row are Dr. Bruce @bbchien and his wife Susan, Karen and her husband Scott @ScottM . Dr. Bruce was his best man.

Mike is going to be cremated in Grayslake, IL (C81). Joan plans to have a memorial celebration of life for him after COVID-19 gets better so people feel comfortable attending. Hopefully it’ll be this year, but she doesn’t want anyone to come down with COVID-19 as a result of this.

@AdamZ was sharing with me how back in 2007 at Gaston's he watched Mike pull up in "Buddy" (N284M) and start unloading stuff. And keep unloading stuff. And keep unloading stuff. That plane was a truck. If you could put it in, it could lift it! A couple years later I remember Mike making the...

Yes, Mike was one of the founders of this board and a really great guy. As Scott noted, he, Leslie, Dr. Bruce, and I helped him celebrate his 65th birthday less than a month ago. He learned to fly later in life, and was a founder of the PilotCast with Kent Shook. He took his Cherokee 235, N284M...

We’re out. First year since it reopened that we won’t make it up there. :( With COVID and some personal stuff we have going on, though, it’s just not in the cards.

Don't challenge Leslie, or she may do that! We're really missing being able to get together with everyone. @flyingcheesehead was talking about everyone meeting up at the airport and having margaritas, but shipping out jambalaya sounds even better. We could do a virtual Zoom Camp Bacon! Grant

Well, I cancelled my RV rental with Van Boxtel since OSH was cancelled. They were really great about it and will refund the deposit, even though by contract they don't need to.

Officially cancelled for 2020.

Actually, Sun'n'Fun is now tentatively postponed until May 5-10, with a final decision no later than April 17.

So, I'm already looking forward to seeing @Dizaster and @EdFred at 6Y9 this year! Need to figure out where to stay, but that will work itself out, I know. Who else will be there?

@CJones , As @flyingcheesehead said, our dinner at Camp Bacon will be Tuesday night, and you are MOST DEFINITELY invited! And you can get @steingar's origami and @weirdjim's forum at the start of the week too!

We've rented from Van Boxtel in Green Bay for a couple of years now. https://www.vanboxtelrv.com/rv-rentals-motor-home.html We've been pleased with them. Not cheap, but a newish RV set up where you want it. (We have an "advance man" who's staked out the site). They were booked up already this...

Well this year we're doing the first few nights (Sat - Mon) in a hotel in Appleton, then moving to an RV in Scholler for the remainder. That's presuming that there is an OSH20, given Coronavirus! Yes, I'm seriously worried that they might cancel it. They cancelled SXSW! As of now, though, we're...

Great thanks to Diz, Brad, Ed, and Pattee! It was a fabulous event! The school looks great!

Had a great time! So many newbies, and a great diversity of planes!

Sorry for any confusion about finding it this year! My message was posted before I was even on site. At Kent said, we were in the same spot as last year, but they renumbered the streets, and we were back one spot from Lindbergh this year. As Kent also pointed out, we are on Google Maps, which...

It was a very successful event! We had 70-80 people come through. We actually had enough for everyone to have at least one and for some three servings. It was great to see so many friends there; both those we’ve known for years and those we didn’t know we had. It’s the people who make it...

No events geared specifically for kids, but we certainly have a few teenagers around here. Plenty of non-alcoholic libations. No one gets crazy.

If anyone’s still looking for something non-perishable to bring, we could use a container of hand sanitizer for the guests and wood for a campfire. Leslie’s upped things again, and added yet another burner to make even more Jambalaya. She was concerned about running out. The weather is looking...

Glad you’re on the mend. You’ll be missed!
