"Thanks Kelly for the John Update"

Today John visited the State Department and was the ONLY college intern invited to sit with the US Delegates in the United States and the European Union talks about aircraft and aviation. He said it was exciting and an honor to be invited to these talks. He was given special clearance for this visit, however, a guard was posted at his side the entire time … just in case he decided to run off and doing something stupid while in the State Department … like throw a Pope Party or something! Anyway, he said it was very exciting and it was very educational and learned a lot about the inner dealings of politics within international aviation.

"Happy Birthday Uncle Mike"

Today, September 23rd would have been Uncle Mikes 103rd Birthday...Wow....I am sure the Keg will be tapped tonight and Liz and Kate will be mixing an extra batch of sours for the occasion.

"Neither Rain nor......"

It rained all day yesterday, but the club did not cancel the event...Ron, Lou and Lou' son Johnnie set up all the equipment, it took well over an hour..at 6:00 PM the starting time there were about 5 people there..but the BB's began playing....slowly more and more people began to arrive by 7:00pm there were about 50-60 people....more coming as the night progressed...On a good night, weather wise, there would have been 100's of people ....by 7:30 little kids were dancing, big kids were dancing...and then the adults joined it...It turned out great, much fewer people then would have been there if the weather was better....but The B B 's received another booking from the club for a future affair and they were approached to play a large party in November for 200 people.....It was a great night and we all enjoyed it....Way to go B B 's
