Ever pick up a will-call order at Wick's? The pipe organ factory is on
the east side of the road. Aircraft stuff is on the west. Aunt
Imogene's house is up and over two blocks. Grandma's house is down 2
and over 2 at 8th & Pestozzoli... wave if you go by. Stop in at Buzzy's
Diner for breakfast. And if you meet any Freys, they're related to me
somehow.

My Mom and sister are planning to move back to IL in the next year or
so. If that happens, I may start making a run from Denver to Highland
once or twice a year with my truck. Might be able to help a few fellas
out.

Yeah, you could put a whole bunch of spruce in that new trailer you are going to
build. Charge some people half the shipping price, and pay for the trailer!

One thing, though. Make sure you have the roll-over problem licked, first.

You wouldn't want to end up with a couple thousand dollars worth of toothpicks!

I'm nearing the completion of my homebuilt, which includes lots of stuff
from Aircraft Spruce. I'm very happy with them. One time, an order arrived
with the wrong length AN bolts. I explained it to customer service, she put
me on hold, went into the warehouse and confirmed that someone had dumped
the wrong size AN bolts into one of the bins. Came back on the line,
explained what happened, and mailed the correct size bolts to me right away.
I was impressed with her initiative; instead of just sending me some more
bolts, she tracked it down, figured out the problem, and fixed it on the
spot.

Seems to me that Spruce is doing it just about as good as it gets.

Best,
Dennis Johnson
