   I was there for 10 days, conducting a few seminars, and volunteering
   in the homebuilders workshops for a while. Saw Dave Atkins there.
   "Crowds" were essentially non existent.
   The Beach Boys drew a large audience in spite of the rainstorm.
   Stopped in Manitowoc on the way back, and saw the only BD-2 in
   existence
   mounted on a pedestal.

   I can understand why at $21  a day and $189 a week for camping.
   EAA is slowly running OSH into the ground.

   Paul Lamar

Paul and Tom have to be able to fly their Toys.  The latest I have heard
is Tom wants to retire, and that there may a bit of a shakeup in
figuring out who gets the next shot at the throne.  I am glad that the
EAA is out there advocating general aviation, but at the same time, I
think we could do better..
