The last of the first three people at Creve Coeur has passed away.

Jack Onck died this week. He was 85. I was acquainted with him but hadn't seen him in a couple years. I had always wanted to have a "sit and talk" about Creve Coeur with him as he was one of the first three tenets back when the airport was founded in 1956. I never got the chance to do that.

OT: Typical Sunday at my house.

Now that things have slowed down out at the airport with the weather turning colder, I spend most of my Sunday afternoons watching football between Boo doing gymnastics in the living room.

New Ground School Instructor in the Making!

I recently had an interview and as part of that had to give a 5-10 minute presentation. I used my family as an audience to practice for that.

 

Lindsay loves to play teacher. She had her first Spanish Club meeting at school this week and came home wanting to teach us what she had learned. I think I have a future AGI in my house!

The Monocoupe Club had a fly-in at Creve Coeur airport this weekend. This is a small club with about three times the number of members for the number of surviving Monocoupes. The fly-in is held every odd year the last weekend of September. This year only two Monocoupes flew in to join the numerous Monocoupes based on the field.
