I know Kevin will be wanting to "Get er done", and I am sure that there are
obstacles that will need to be overcome. But if anyone can overcome the p
hysical, spiritual, and mental hurtles that lie ahead, Kevin can with you b
y his side. I hope to see you both again soon (Brodhead 2013?, I owe Kevin
a ride) and look forward to future "story time" in the Cove. A lot of good
can come from a bad situation, and I think this group has really shined on
what could have been a much darker event.
This is the key. This man has it made.

Jim,
IF he needs new wheels I have two 21" alloy Sun rims (from Buchannans) with
two smooth shaved motorcycle tires he can have, though I doubt his were
hurt.

Well, I hesitate to mention this because I think FBG had a widened fuselage, but
in case FBG II is a standard width, I have a complete, beautifully fabricated
set of Cub-style landing gear with Buchanan spoked wheels and mechanical brakes.
It has the bungee shock struts but those could be converted to springs.
This is the landing gear that came from Arlene Walsh's Aerial project and it
is ready to bolt onto a fuselage. Also a Matco steerable tailwheel. These items
could put a fuselage on the gear in just a short time.

In the past several years, many of us have considered ourselves fortunate,
to have encountered Kevin Purtee and Shelly Tumino. They both have impacted
so many of us in a positive way, in so many respects, and to many are cons
idered to be a treasured asset to us out here on the Piet list, not only be
cause of the help and knowledge that they have conveyed, but the love, care
, consideration, and generosity beyond the call of duty, that they have so
freely given, to so many. We are all pulling for them now, in our collecti
ve hearts, as we speak. Now I consider it an honor and privilege to be able
to help out in a small way in this time of uncertainty. Just put my check
in the mail to operationaxel. Get well soon my friend!!

Jim-
I have a complete model "A" that I would be glad to donate- just so Kevin
could join the rest of the guys with conservative yet reliable powerplants
.
Well, actually I have a Corvair also but that was a secret that I wasn't go
ing to share until this came up.

Hello good people
The out pouring of parts has been both amazing and an impressive display of generosity.
They will most certainly provide Kevin and Shelley a great start on the
new and improved FBG. Assuming thats possible.
All the parts in the world will not and can not replace the one essential component
necessary to make airplanes fly, money! I realize that nothing says love
like a sheet of 4130 however it only has value when it's put to work. Fortunately
your cash contributions have a universal application that can be used for
parts, pieces bits and most importantly it becomes the bridge that spans the
chasm between insurance payments and the actual bills. We know that we have the
best medical system that money can buy unfortunately who has the money when
those bills come rolling in.
It's time to add some greenbacks to the offering to keep the hounds off the porch
and away from the front door of Kevin's house! Like I said earlier this is
a gift of love so let's show Kevin and Shelley the love.
We can only do as much as we ca do so let's get to the doin part.
Thanks for doin
John

Hello good people,
We have now marked the first 24 hours of Operation Axel, and in such a
short period of time we find ourselves within a couple dollars of breaking
through the four-figure dollar amount in contributions! Thank you very much
to all who have so generously contributed thus far. Let's really kick this
thing into high gear! Tell your neighbors, tell your friends....heck, tell
your enemies, their contributions help just the same. :)

that will ensure I can deposit them into the account we are using to

So, my hangar neighbor, from down the row a ways, comes to look at my Piet (rigging
is taking forever!). He just finished a Chinook, I think...sorta like a Kitfox.
After looking over my project, with the usual comments that people make
when they see a Pietenpol, he puts his hand kindly on my shoulder, looks me in
the eye, and says,
"This is not a homebuilt! Don't ever call it a homebuilt!"
Motioning in the direction of his own plane, which happens to be his 5th or 6th
project, he continues,
"THAT'S a homebuilt! This is a HAND MADE aircraft, and there IS a difference! You
should always refer to it as 'hand made'!"
Well, I like the sentiment, and am passing it along to my fellow builders, as it
is fitting for every Pietenpol I have seen!

We appreciate your enthusiasm John, and I'm sure that Kevin and Shelly do as well.
As for the slow pace of contributions, speaking solely for myself of course...
I just returned from an 11-day trip... a trip that I save for all year.
Having said that, I do indeed plan to assist in whatever way I can, but honestly,
my liquid funds are somewhat depleted due to the trip. Some of our fellow
Pieters are not even home yet, so lets give the 7-day plan time to materialize.
I'll be in better shape to contribute by mid-week, and plan to do so.
If you are comparing this effort to Markle-Mania, well, a couple of things are
different... one, we had a target that needed to be achieved ($6k if I recall),
and there was also a somewhat pressing time frame. If there are similar circumstances
in this matter, perhaps making those points known would generate more
of a sense of urgency.
The most pressing concern is that Kevin get healthy, which he appears to be doing,
thank God. If there is an urgent need for funds, perhaps we discover how
to get things moving to Shelly ASAP (perhaps directly), but if we are going to
do a 7-day marathon then let's allow everyone time to assess their resources
and give the maximum that they can.
As for the FBG_parts campaign, it is a totally separate issue to the monetary contributions.
Is it premature? Perhaps by some people's estimate, but Jim's
request wasn't for people to order parts, it was simply a call to look around
for things, and he has caused many of us to look around our shops for items that
we might donate... at a later time of course. Will it be Phase II, or III,
or later? Not to sure, but whenever the time is right Jim will be able to provide
Kevin and Shelly with a consolidated list of goodies that are available
to them. I think it's a great idea. Heck, perhaps some of the group are strapped
for cash at this point and time and could not give, but they may have useful
items to offer. Does that meant that folks are helping in one way and not
the other? I doubt that to be the case. It could be that we are all doing a
greater service by looking at several areas that we may be able to assist as
this chapter unfolds.
Anyhow, let's be patient. We all know that this is a giving group, and several
of the more capable members have already stepped forward to offer immediate assistance.
The quality of people in our group really is amazing.
Thanks for your efforts, and keep us posted!

face told the whole story. You really touched the heart of this young man. I
thank you so much for your generosity.

I'm not sure how this works if you aren't a Facebook user, but it says that I
can share my album with others. I hope those of you who are not on Facebook are
able to view my photos using this link.
Let us know if it works!

Subject: | Hello Good People |
Will share more with you in the next day or 2. Today's first day I've had the
energy to open the computer. My glasses hurt my broken nose.
1st: Thanks so much for all the support after the crash. Will address more of
this later.
2nd: will add to Dan's report based on our time this year prior to the crash.
3rd: thanks for the offer of financial and other support. Very generous but please
only give WHAT you can, IF you can, and if you WANT TO. You owe us nothing
but your friendship, which you are already generous with.
