So I have the good fortune of "having to go to Oshkosh" for work and I got to bring the family via SR-22. Our Honda Odyssey was brought up by one of the guys I work with. While we were trying to get to our vehicle we started walking from Aeroshell Square to Camper Registration to meet our vehicle. Once inside the camp grounds a golf cart pulled up with an older guy on it and a voice said "you want a ride, where are you going" Of course we take the offer and when I turn to get on the golf cart I see that is non other than Paul Poberezny!!!!!! Are you kidding me!! I have heard of such a thing but it only happens to other people. My wife and oldest daughter are in the front seat with Paul and Im in the back with my youngest daughter and I am beside myself. I asked him where Red One was and he said " I dont know". I was wondering if my wife caught what I had asked him. I then tapped her on the shoulder and mouthed to here that it was P-a-u-l. She looked at him then me like OMG. We chatted about the "seaplane" campgrounds, My wife said she brought her snorkle and Paul thought that was funny. A young boy with a phone texting walked in front of us and Paul noticed he did not even look up so we started going toward the boy and when we got withing about 2 ft the boy looks up startled of course and Paul tells him he almost got run over. We got to camper/swimmer registration and I asked if the girls could have a picture with him as it was their first OSH he of course obliged. I dont get wound up about celebrities but I must say that was really cool.
Thanks Paul that put the icing on our first trip as a family to OSH.
