[C38] Cat 38 dues

Tue Feb 22 22:19:08 EST 2011

Paul:   Sorry, we sold all the planes this last year. The Navion was one of 
the most fun aircraft we ever owned.....a great cross country bus.  We plan 
on taking the boat south next year, so we're selling everything that doesn't 
fit on the boat. The kids are grown and gone to other parts of the country, 
so there will be no reason to ever come back to the freezing north country!
