Rick,

I got your letter today. I have met you. I kept my plane at Mad River for some time and then at a friend's field about 5 miles west of Springfield. I'm back at Springfield now, but still get to Urbana on occasion.
I will be very willing to help you with any thing I can. I plan to retire this year so I should have more time in the future for activities like this. I will make time to get up during the MERFI fly-in. I need to spend more time flying my Cub. I fly the Wright "B" Flyer and it occupies too much of my time.
I'll see you in September if not before. Tom Printz (at Mad River) is [hopefully] finishing my annual soon.
Cheers,
Mitch Cary
