We had someone from Kansas City who was going to stay with us during the EAA
Airventure, but changed his mind about coming. So now my wife and I are happy to offer our spare bedroom in our house in northern Appleton, Wisconsin, about 35 minutes from EAA in Oshkosh. It isn't much, just a futon mattress on the floor with sheets and blankets, some built-in chest drawers and a closet. If you are traveling with a spouse or significant other, the mattress is "Double" sized. A couple would fit on it okay, but without all the room of a Queen or King sized mattress. You can use our bathroom, kitchen and laundry of course. I'll be volunteering at EAA on Friday the 29th and Sunday the 31st for sure, and will probably attend other days too. On the days I'm going you can ride there and back with me. Other days you'll have to find another way there. We have a cat and a medium sized dog both of whose main hobby appears to be shedding. We vacuum every day, but if you have pet allergies, you don't want too stay here! We also have a 17-year-old boy living here (my son) but he doesn't bite strangers. Neither does the dog. We are offering this room for free, just as a favor to someone who we hope will pay the favor forward to someone else someday. Scott Wilson and Janet Mohr |

Awww, shucks, ain't nothin'.... For anyone interested in our offer, I
should mention that my wife and I are adamant non-smokers, so if you smoke I doubt we'd be comfortable with each other. It might be better if I restrict our offer to non-smokers. Scott Wilson |

Your action represents everything that is good and wonderful about EAA
and my home-state of Wisconsin! Did your roomless friends find a dorm room? Better than that. When they told EAA of their dilemma, and their inability to camp on the field (no plane, plus Christine is pregnant), the person at EAA found them a room in a house ON THE FIELD! It's not free, but, dang -- a room in a house ON Wittman Field? That's incredible. I know where we'll be heading if the temperatures exceed 90 degrees... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

As much as I like the show and museum I have rather ambivalent feelings about EAA the organization, for this reason: A fellow I work with's grandmother lived near Wittman Field, and when EAA wanted to expand and she wouldn't sell they had Oshkosh condemn her property and evict her from a house and land that had been in their family for generations, which was then "donated" to EAA. This happened some years ago, recent Supreme Court decisions not-withstanding, and my friend is still plenty bitter about it. I hate bullies, and EAA came across as such to me. I also have some question about nepotism and Tom Poberezny getting quite wealthy from our dues, from a position given to him by his father who also was made quite wealthy from the organization he founded. I can accept Paul Poberezny getting rich from EAA; he put a lot into founding the group. But passing the torch to his son so he can get paid a pretty incredible (in my opinion) salary from EAA just galls me more than a little. Scott Wilson |
