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.
