"Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... With all due respect, for all of us who repeatedly asked the EAA to either have him yodel several hours later or shut him up, my condolences to his family, but it's frustrating that it took his death to get that early morning noise stopped. Sorry, Rick. From what Dave says, it sounds like we will still be "enjoying" the haunting sounds of yodeling at OSH for many years to come. :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" This is the word direct from Tom P. LEGENDARY EAA YODELER PASSES AWAY We were saddened this week to hear of Bill Ricketts' death after a battle with cancer. Bill was the legendary "EAA Yodeler," who awakened campers at AirVenture every morning for more than 20 years. His performances became part of the unique fabric of the event and were noted by attendees, volunteers and the media. Fortunately, many of his yodels have been recorded so that wake-up call will not be lost forever. Our condolences go to Bill's family and his ! many friends in the Communications Center "Green Gang" volunteer group. His family has directed any memorials in his name to go to the EAA Young Eagles Program or the American Lung Association of Maryland. |
