Piper Aircraft Museum

Hi All! The horrid and hated humidity hit full strength this week, and poor Abby just about expired.  Then magically it disappeared and we are having fabulous temperatures and hardly any humidity right now.  Guess that is the norm around here.  We are having a good week so far.  We are now doing our volunteering at the Piper Aircraft Museum here in town.  Piper planes are those small passenger planes that became popular in the 50's.  Piper Cub is the most famous.  So they have a nice museum here because this is where they were manufactured back in the day.  They have asked Dad to help write and
design informational brochures for each of the nine or ten classic planes they have on display here.  He has done lots of that for computers, so he will have no problem.  I will assist as needed but there is another project having to do with documenting old photos and original drawings of the planes that I will be working on.  Later this month there is an annual event called "sentimental journey" and it is a "fly in" where people who fly these planes all gather here in Lock Haven for a big celebration with music, food, displays, etc.  It lasts all week and we will be helping a lot with that. Should be fun and interesting.  The locals say that the sky above our little town is full of colorful planes landing and taking off.  That should liven things up around here for a week at least!

We are teaching the Hanna Family for the first time tonight.  Hope all goes well - they have had lots of conflicts, but hopefully tonight will happen.  We have great hopes for this family.

Love to all,  Mom and Dad
