Room available for EAA

We had someone from Kansas City who was going to stay with us during the EAA
Airventure, but changed his mind about coming. So now my wife and I are
happy to offer our spare bedroom in our house in northern Appleton,
Wisconsin, about 35 minutes from EAA in Oshkosh. It isn't much, just a
futon mattress on the floor with sheets and blankets, some built-in chest
drawers and a closet. If you are traveling with a spouse or significant
other, the mattress is "Double" sized. A couple would fit on it okay, but
without all the room of a Queen or King sized mattress. You can use our
bathroom, kitchen and laundry of course. I'll be volunteering at EAA on
Friday the 29th and Sunday the 31st for sure, and will probably attend other
days too. On the days I'm going you can ride there and back with me. Other
days you'll have to find another way there.

We have a cat and a medium sized dog both of whose main hobby appears to be
shedding. We vacuum every day, but if you have pet allergies, you don't
want too stay here! We also have a 17-year-old boy living here (my son)
but he doesn't bite strangers. Neither does the dog. We are offering this
room for free, just as a favor to someone who we hope will pay the favor
forward to someone else someday.

You, sir, are a credit to the whole thing that EAA is all about. Bless you.
I hope you are rewarded a thousandfold.

Concur with RST. That's a nice thing you're doing.

Awww, shucks, ain't nothin'.... For anyone interested in our offer, I
should mention that my wife and I are adamant non-smokers, so if you smoke I
doubt we'd be comfortable with each other. It might be better if I restrict
our offer to non-smokers.

WOW Scott (and wife)!

Just for making that offer, I will offer you (and yours) 2 hours of
high densty altitude operations, takeoffs and landing training, in my
C172, at the Fort Collins Downtown Airport (3V5). I will pay for the
airplane rental and provide the instruction. We mow grass at 5000
MSL, so density altitude takeoffs and landings, and simulated
engine-out-emergencies take on a whole new dimension in the real of
safe flight.

So, when you are out west, come on by!

It is the least I can do for someone so kind and generous.

Best regards,

I'm not sure when we might be able to afford a trip to Colorado, but thank
you very much for your generous offer.

Did your roomless friends find a dorm room?

Better than that. When they told EAA of their dilemma, and their inability
to camp on the field (no plane, plus Christine is pregnant), the person at
EAA found them a room in a house ON THE FIELD!

It's not free, but, dang -- a room in a house ON Wittman Field? That's
incredible.

I know where we'll be heading if the temperatures exceed 90 degrees...

Jay, this response left me feeling kind of funny. As much as I like the
show and museum I have rather ambivalent feelings about EAA the
organization, for this reason: A fellow I work with's grandmother lived
near Wittman Field, and when EAA wanted to expand and she wouldn't sell they
had Oshkosh condemn her property and evict her from a house and land that
had been in their family for generations, which was then "donated" to EAA.
This happened some years ago, recent Supreme Court decisions
not-withstanding, and my friend is still plenty bitter about it. I hate
bullies, and EAA came across as such to me. I also have some question about
nepotism and Tom Poberezny getting quite wealthy from our dues, from a
position given to him by his father who also was made quite wealthy from the
organization he founded. I can accept Paul Poberezny getting rich from EAA;
he put a lot into founding the group. But passing the torch to his son so
he can get paid a pretty incredible (in my opinion) salary from EAA just
galls me more than a little.
