Hi Mary,
Congratulations! Yet another chapter for your scrapbook of 'Merry
Wings'.
We miss you since you moved away from the 'Oregon Ercoupe Erforce' area,
but you
sound like you've found yet another nitch to fill. Fly happy and stay
safe.
(Tell Dave I said 'Hi'.
Will you be at Arlington this year? Maybe I'll see you there, I'll be
hanging around the Ercoupe parking and camping area. There's an Ercoupe
Banquet
on Friday night if you're able to make it this year I'll tell you when and
where
the banquet is. (Remind me to give you your OEE coffee mug.)
