Javin's Book

In honor of Father's Day, we would like to share a book written by our grandson, Javin. His first grade class had the assignment of writing a story using each letter of the alphabet (working on it over several days) which would later be bound into a book. Javin decided to write about his Great Grandpa, Jarboe, who had just recently passed away. Through his words and drawings we can tell that he was greatly impacted by his Great Grandpa's life and "home going." Be sure to click on the directional arrows at the bottom right hand corner of the video to get the full screen in order to be able to read the book.

More on the Cessna 172 for Brigade Air

MMS staff member, Keith Dodson, put together the following video which shows the dedicated work behind getting this airplane ready for Brigade Air. Thank you Keith.

Three Busy Weeks

After the IAMA Conference on our way back to Ohio, we stopped in Bowling Green, Kentucky to spend a week with Mom.  During the week we had great visits with my sister, my three brothers and sisters-in-law.  One of those days Mom, Rena and I drove to the small rural community where Mom and Dad farmed and visited the cemetery.  In addition to the visit, Mom wanted to see if the grass was growing she and Marvin (my older brother) sowed.  It was.

Rena and I helped with various chores through the week.  As I was clearing grass and weeds from Mom's day lilies, I disturbed a rabbit's nest.  Three tiny bunnies bolted from the safe spot where their mother left them.  It must have been a traumatic day for the rabbit family.

We drove back to Coshocton on Memorial Day and got right into our normal routines.  There's a great team at MMS Aviation so my biggest challenge upon returning to my office was to go through a big stack of mail.  Fortunately, a lot of it was junk mail and it doesn't take long to deal with that stuff.

The fellows are finishing the restoration of a Cessna 172 that was donated to Brigade Air.  Two days ago the MMS family joined Brigade Air's Director, two Board Members, and two guests in Hangar A to dedicate the plane.  It will be used to inspire teens toward missions through weeklong aviation summer camps.

Brigade Air's Board Chairman, Ron Wyrtzen, and Director, Bruce Wolff, join me for a Kodak moment.
