Glad I got to see history
Hey Paul and Louise,
It was a pleasure meeting you guys Wed and Thur at the RV-1 tent. Turned into a great rallying place for other RV'ers. Nice to see Van hanging around a spell or two. He is a man of few spoken words but you could see it on his face. I use to live just North of Portland, OR so I went to Vans a lot to get new parts for the ones I buggered up. I would see him at work a lot but not many words spoken. I thanked him for the RV-8 design that I have. Got to meet the great Pierre Smith, master of the crop duster. What I treat to meet the folks we read about on the forum. Still looking forward to meeting Dan Horton some day to thank him for fiberglass tips, etc. Anyhow, the RV-1 tent was a great idea and a great place to rest those barking dogs after walking on them all day. Thanks for letting me help Paul and Ernie push the -1 to get fuel. They made me steer at the back with the rudder. My leg muscles are still recovering. Cheers.
