Re: Video Bud Helmericks flying in the arctic (1950s)

Re: Guess what Grandma asked me?
That tornado went between Teryn (Little Rock) and Dakota (Conway), mom not happy about that - now I remember my frustration with having the Fly In, during Spring. George you were always excited about having the Petit Jean, every year, yet need I remind you that you only attended once? If we want to ...

Re: Guess what Grandma asked me?
Yeah we had discussions on it. Members in the North, love to come down first thing in the spring, after a long winter. We were tied up with kids in Football & Volleyball, my vacation, etc. Maybe we should start asking for input on dates? We have to make sure Mrs Bengstam is there with her Cherry...

Re: Guess what Grandma asked me?
Wow, Dave It Is a small world. I was born in the OLD Texarkana Hospital before it closed and everything moved to Wadley. I bet I know some of the same people your Dad knows.

Re: Guess what Grandma asked me?
Not good! My dad played for Watty Myers and even though I was born in Wadley, I grew up in Tyler. :D Oh you thought I was - No - I came up here to play football for Tech.

Re: Warm(er?) spring 2013 flying destinations?
I bring it up to Traci, now and then, Kyle, but her priorities have changed. She's had a job for a couple of years where she works 12 hrs a day (I haven't seen her for yrs) and 1 grandbaby, with another on the way. We're (I am) in that transition mode, where we are downsizing and trying to get thing...

Re: Flying Into Petit Jean
I know Our last child (Dakota 6'3", 240 lbs) is a senior in high school, so hopefully we'll get back on track in the near future. We're actually grandparents (Tryston had a girl), as of about 6 months ago. Wondering if Fall Weather would be better than Spring Weather.
