Well, sort of.  The Nuvite Chemical Company had a large shade tent
(about 10' high) above the Ercoupe that they were polishing to show how
their polish worked.  We had a huge rain storm Monday night, which
softened the ground.  One of the poles (about 2" dia.) and it's guy rope
stakes were in a low spot, which filled with water, which turned the
ground to mud underneath it.  A violent wind came up around 7 am, lifted
the tent and pulled the stakes out of the mud, allowing the pole to
fall.  It fell on the Ercoupe.  This Ercoupe belonged to Randy Feldpouch
from Ramsey, IL.  I hope it is repaired now.
