Up, Up, and Away

Paula Rumbaugh attended a conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in June. She and two friends rented a car and drove around Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro prior to the conference. Flight was commercial.

Janie and Woody have been able to do some flying now since they have been back from Florida and had the annual completed.

Myra spent ten days in Ireland. She visited the Cliffs of Mohir, the Waterford Crystal plant (where she bought a beautiful piece of crystal for under 10 euros). She had a chance to attend an old fashioned Kaelic and had a typical Irish stew. The worst part of the trip was the flight from JFK to Columbus. The weather while there was beautiful – no rain – all sunshine.

Mary and her instructor/banner-tow pilot Craig made a presentation to EAA Chapter 9 last Saturday. The group came out to Bolton to learn all about banner towing then dined at JPs.

Marjorie and Jack (49 ½) enjoyed learning about banner towing at the last EAA meeting at Bolton.

Jann and George also attended the EAA meeting on banner towing.

Constance and Ray Copeland flew to Wichita, KS for Ray’s annual lessons and the River Fest. We were back for less than a week and then off to Walker, MN for a family get-together with our sons and families.
