Dick,
Thanks for the kind words. I guess I'm not so crazy afterall- although my
husband is the one to be convinced of that. I loved the Beechcraft model!
It is such a neat plane! My dad was a pilot, and I used to fly with him in
his Citabria aerobatic plane. I miss it terribly ( he died) I think flying
gives you such a different perspective on the world. I'm off track here.
Either we're all crazy or the rest of the world doesn't get it!
Enjoy Dick!
Merry
