Good Morning Net
It's 8 AM here in Michigan, my coffee is on the brew and I have scanned the top
stories on Yahoo and read the overnight posts on KR-Net. Years ago, that is in
the early 70's for some and back to 83 for me, I started to follow the KR
aircraft. builders were plentiful even back then, but they were far apart.
News was by way of the newsletters and usually came once a month. It seemed
that there was so little information. Yet, builders and others read each line
over and over and saved the old papers in collections. Look as us now, it's
nearly like turning on the morning news. The net can take credit for making
improvements to the craft, and helping builders and want-a-bee's through all
sorts of dilemmas and decisions. As I read this mornings posts mostly on the
continuations of several threads, it reminded me of the Editorial Pages in the
Daily News, where the most vivid opinions are printed I think just to stir
public discussion.
The really neat thing about the net is it's Real Time nature. Events are
current such as Larry's first flight, and Brian's plight. One of things that
is the hardest to do is to admit in public that we have flaws and make
mistakes. Brian was brave. It is easy to say "I did it", and wait for all the
congrats. I feel that it is equally as important to know how to successfully
accomplish a task such as the dangerous HS taxi, as it is to know what went
wrong when one of the unfortunate things happen. Each of these has a place in
helping others become more successful.
Like it or not the KRnet is a social entity. You only have to read for a few
days to see friendship and negative emotions displayed on a global basis. The
KRnet is a family. My only wish is that we could get Mother Jeanette
occasionally speak.
