Good evening ladies and gents,Just wanted to drop a quick note and announce the impending official close of OperationAxel at midnight, August 4!In one week this most excellent community of Pietenpol family and friends havecontributed more than $2,000 to help Kevin and Shelley offset the cost of theunfortunate events that transpired after Brodhead. In addition to the monetarygoodwill and contributions, Jim Markle has been taking down a list of parts andsupplies that are being made available to help FBG (and her family) returnto the skies once again. Truly an awesome thing!So, we are open to receive contributions for one more day.if you have contributed,thank you so very much for your generosity. In this economy (and especiallyaround Brodhead/Oshkosh time) it is certainly not easy to scrape together thefunds. If you still wish to contribute and have not, I welcome the paperwork!:)Thank you all again, and have a safe and happy weekend,Ryan________________________________________________________________________________
