Paul Sengupta, of these newsgroups, has just departed Cedar Rapids for
Chicago, en route to Washington, D.C. to spend some time with Ron & Margy
Natalie, and to see the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.

We had a marvelous time with Paul -- five whole days of eating, drinking,
flying, and showing him what Iowa has to offer. I don't know about Paul,
but (a) I now need to go on a serious diet, and (b) I'm now a serious
convert to British bitters and lagers!

While waiting with him at the airport I just got to watch the video of
George Patterson and Paul flying the Hudson corridor last week -- that sure
looks like a great flight! Due to weather and work, we were only able to
fly with him once in Atlas (we took him to Ames, IA, to see the "other"
college town), but while he was here he did his BFR, and yesterday he rented
a 172 and flew up to Oshkosh, to see the museum.

And he got to drive the "Mighty Grape" almost every day... ;-)

We're already making plans to go see him in Guildford...
