I wasn't there but I've known Forrest since the mid 70's. I lived in thePoughkeepsie area for about 20 years before miving here to WV. Wish Iwas back in NY! Forrest and I met at Blakesburgh IA at the AAA fly insthere. Our families used to camp there and all our kids played together.He is the person that got me interested in Pietenpols. There used to bequite a few of them that would show up at the AAA fly ins till the midto late 80's. Unfortunatly there was some political problems and many ofthe members dropped out. I was back there this year for the first timesince '87 and I think only one Piet was there other than the Scout thatis in the Museum there. (Forrest built that Scout).Mike, where in NY do you live. I know there is a lot of antiqueairplanes in the Hudson Valley. I try to go to Rhinebeck as often as Ican. We have a Howard Fly in there when they have the Bi-Plane fly-in.(the weekend after July 4). It would be a good weekend to bring yourPiet there.Michael Brusilow wrote:
