Anybody attending that wants to accept money feel free to step up and do so if you want. My wife has to help me work the event and can only handle a few folks from Lubbock that can't attend. I know others have steped up and offered in the past.

We have almost broken $10,000.00 in raffle items donated for the LOE 2013 RV Charity Fly In raffle with another two weeks to go.

Don't forget to register by September 27 so we can get your T-shirts and banquet meal ordered.

Heads Up: If you mailed your registration to Russ Kamtz you are good to go as mail is being picked by the family, who will be attending LOE 2013 in memory of there parents and grandparents.

I plan to fly up Friday afternoon then back in the early evening, I'm not staying for dinner or any of the other events but I would like to support the cause and enter the raffle. Can I do that in person on Friday or do I need to register and mail in the form?

Thanks

My wife along with a number of other wives seem to have fun. It would be great to see you again

Don't know about LOE, but Ft. Collins was a nice place to visit.

Trivia - Main St. in Disneyland is modeled after the 1950's Ft. Collins Main St. Disney designer came form Ft. Collins.

The town has done a good job of getting the 50's look back to the Ft. Collins Main St...

We met with Russ Daves yesterday at KFNL and Gary Zilik from Pine Junction made it up to help out. Russ Daves has really has really accomplished a lot of the things we were really bogged down with as he has done this before. He had a meeting with the airport and they said the north ramp may be done in time so that was good news and we hope the flight restrictions because of the flood will be lifted so you some of you can enjoy flights over the area. The bad news is Hiwy 34 from Loveland and from Lyons will be closed maybe for months, so no short trips to Estes Park and the trail ridge road. Paul Harder is working with the Rocky Mountain Renegades for a missing man formation for Russ Kamtz a Navy veteran. This is going to take place so we are hoping for a good turnout, weather shoud be great! Russ Daves is pretty busy but will give an update here I'm sure shortly.

Just back from Fort Collins Loveland KFNL. Good meetings with lots of Russ Kamtz's pilot buddies offering lots of help with the LOE 2013 RV Charity Fly In. Everything is set for October 4-6, 2013.

Just to be on the safe side, for everyone who mailed in or hand delivered their registrations to Russ Kamtz, please drop me an e-mail at dav1111 at clear dot net and let me know so I can double check and make sure we have your registration.

We will have a free beer and wine social at 5:00 pm on October 4th & 5th and there will be a missing man fly over on Saturday at about 5:00 pm in memory of Russ Kamtz.

Be sure and bring your tie downs as we will some parking on the new ramp but if we have a really large turnout some parking will be on the grass.

We will also be doing a slideshow during the dinner hour on Saturday evening in honor of Russ Kamtz so if you have any pictures you want to include please send them to rkphotos@ipcllc.com.

My thanks go out again to everyone that has offered help take up the vacumm left we Little Russ' passing.

Well, had a little encounter with a 500 lb calf a couple of weeks ago and had knee surgery last Friday, so flying to LOE is out. Would love to go for Sat night and return to Denver on Sun. If anyone is driving up from Denver and would like to share an Embassy room or just enjoy a couple of "soft drinks'". Let me know. Don Snoddy 303-973-0672' or dons1@aol.com

Info if coming to LOE:
Roads still closed, loveland 34 to Estes park, Lyons to Estes park
Most flight restrictions lifted.
http://www.visitftcollins.com/brewery-tours
Russ Kamtz had been working on a brewery tour for Friday night, but we were unable to find any info on what he had done, so we may have rides for a Budweiser plant tour instead for Fri and Sat afternoons, probably 2-4 pm. If anyone is interested in doing it on their own you can use the above web site for maps and info on each, also has a phone number for yellow cab taxi (in case you need a ride after the tour, he-he)

We will also plan for the ladies or guys, providing rides to the Benson Sculpture Park in Loveland, which is a free self-walking tour, probably 2-4pm on Friday and Saturday.
We?ll have sign in sheets for those wanting rides to these tours and a sign in sheet for anyone needing rides to/from their motels.
