[Spridgets] Midget 50th

[Woerpel]

Larry,

I'll go!  I worked on that Tri-Motor when we rebuilt the B-25 down here 
in Burlington.  June 16th, 1973 we had extremely high winds that flipped 
the Ford on its back and we spent the next year replacing ribs and 
re-skinning. (It also our wedding day which is why I remember the day.)  
The museum is not to be missed if you have the faintest regard for aviation.

Good suggestion,
Dave W.
