Jane:

I have your book, have used it quite often for reference and inspiration. My thanks to you for creating such a definitive history of the men and flying machines around Winnipesaukee. The new wooden prop for NC975M arrives in a week or two, as soon as Sensenich Propellers completes it. As you can imagine, carving a nearly 9 foot propeller is quite an undertaking, a 5 month process so far. It was a similar Sensenich wooden prop on 975M when Bill Harmon crash landed her in the field. That 8+ footer is now a splintered 3 foot wall hanger in my shop. The one I used for my early test flights suffered damage by a rock or two which rendered it unusable. Still, we're moving forward toward a lot of flying this coming Spring and Summer.
