He sold his Pietenpol to Ryan Mueller and I ferried it from Tennessee to Brodhead for Ryan, flying in formation with Randy Bush. I had not heard from Gene in several months so I gave him a call last week to see how he was doing. I did not get him, but left a message on his voicemail, and feared that his health was deteriorating. Yesterday he called me, and to my great surprise and delight, he sounded wonderful and strong. He told me that he had been so sick from his previous chemotherapy treatments that he had just about decided to stop the treatments and let the disease run its course (his initial prognosis from Vanderbilt Hospital last spring had given him 2 - 3 months to live). He went to see his Oncologist in Louisville, KY, who put him on a new chemo drug. Monday, he went back for a CT Scan and checkup and the doctor literally came jumping up and down in his office with the scan results. The tumors were shrinking! Bear in mind that this cancer is very rare, and has always been considered untreatable. Remission is not possible. Until now. Gene feels like he suddenly has a future again! He is already discussing the possibility of building a Pietenpol, and may make the trek to Brodhead this coming July. He flies every day the weather permits (he bought a Kolb Slingshot shortly after he sold his Pietenpol), and feels better than he has felt in months. I told him this was the best news I had received all year. Just wanted to pass this on to the best group of people on the internet. Merry Christmas!

The carburetor that they had intended to use is now on my Corvair, which fired up for the first time (after 6 years) last October! I=99ll be at Brodhead in 2011 (by ground transportation), and expect to meet you then. Prayers for your continuing recovery, Gary Boothe From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of TOM STINEMETZE Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2010 11:02 AM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Christmas Miracle This is indeed good news and entirely appropriate for this Christmas season! GOD IS GOOD! Gene, your fight is not without purpose - you are an inspiration to us all. Because of your struggle Ryan and Jess have a beautiful new Pietenpol and I reaped the benefit of Ryan's Corvair project, plus got to make a very enjoyable trip to Chicago to pick it up and meet the Muellers. Jack P. was blessed with a memorable flight to deliver your Piet to Brodhead which produced several photos that grace desktops across the Matronics list. Lest it seem too maudlin - we are thinking of you and our prayers are with you.

He sold his Pietenpol to Ryan Mueller and I ferried it from Tennessee to Brodhead for Ryan, flying in formation with Randy Bush. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
