<VV> Steve update

[AeroNed@aol.com]

Terry Kalp and myself went to visit the MAUM pilot, Steve Ziegler, in the 
hospital today. We went baring gifts, a set of 60 degree offset wrenches. Steve 
is a Corvair mechanic in training and is collecting the necessary tools. The 
offset wrenches are perfect for getting to the fan idler nut and bolt. We 
wrapped them in yellow ribbon (Steve is planning on painting the MAUM yellow) and 
fake fall leaves (Steve is convinced that Terry and I are putting leaves in his 
front vents. We wouldn't do that).

He's very worried about the pump overhaul tomorrow. I told him to just opt 
for the electric pump and he will have no worries. Since Steve is an early guy, 
he going to get the manual pump repaired, the way God intended. Smitty would 
be proud.

Seriously though, Steve's daughter is going to print out some VV posts for 
him to read during his recovery, is that dedication or what?
