Subject: Pulsar-List: Annual reunion
Greetings from very hot Texas. Mark and I are back working on the Nova
and having a great time with the design. It has been very quiet on the
list, hope all is well with everyone.
I have had a few inquiries on this years reunion so am sending out a
query to see if we have enough interest to schedule an event. I would
think late September is a good time, in either Kansas or Texas.
Please let me know what you would like to do. We can always plan an
event at Oshkosh, maybe have swim and diving event. Tom, are you up for
a little mud wrestling?
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their Pulsar.
Take care and be safe,
Greg

Hi Greg. Thanks for the invitation. Becky and I will try our best to attend whether
the reunion is held in KS or TX. We could almost guarantee we would be
there if you held it in Southern California :)
Thanks again for all you do to make this possible. It is a highlight of our year.

Dave,
I'm right there with you on the Alaska dream. I went there for a 5 week
vacation in 1994 and it has been my dream ever since I started flying the
Pulsar to fly it there. I think a group of Kitfox guys do that trip fairly
regularly. Ray Thurman came up with the harebrained idea to ship a tundra
tire setup to some northern location, at which we could switch out normal
tires for the big boys, but I doubt I'd have any carrying capacity after
adding the big tires. But we can dream...
Jim
