KR>The KR-2 in Realtime

2008-10-12 Thread Orma Robbins
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.

RE: My only wish is that we could get Mother Jeanette occasionally speak.

I'm with you. We all miss out and she is missing the most. We are her family
and if she would just once participate with us, I know that it would enrich
her life, not to mention what it would do for the KR and the netters who don
t know her. She is a fine person and I have a real hard time figuring out
why she won't communicate with us.

Maybe she will be at the gathering this year and we can gang up on her.

Short answer "GRANDMA", Long answer, during thee past years, the
grandchildren
 have come first. She funded the wing skins, saw that plans were
available, parts suppliers
 kept up with supply and Lost Ken Brock, her main supplier. Nor bad on a
not quite part time
business. Send her a Thank You card for keeping the KR alive for us, Virg

I talked to her last week, and she said she planned to get a computer soon
and get an email address.  But she said that a couple of years ago too...

It would be nice to get her a computer, maybe a notebook or something.
