Well
here we are at the cars and aircraft page. As you can see from the
photographs Ron drives a Triumph TR6. The car is a 1971 car with
380,000+ miles under its wheels. The car looks in good condition
since it had a body rebuild three years ago. Ron is its second owner.
He bought the car for $750... He does all the work on the car himself,
and you can find him every week either under or inside the engine compartment
making sure everything is in working order. I like sitting on the
ragtop roof and scaring people away from the car, Woof! Woof! Ron
likes traveling to airshows in Kansas and surrounding states. My
favorite show is the one in Liberal, Kansas. It is usually in September
when it's cool!

High Flight
By Pilot Officer John
Gillespie Magee Jr.
Oh I have slipped the surly
bonds of earth
and danced the skies
on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed,
and joined the tumbling
mirth of sun-split
clouds, and done a hundred
things you have not
dreamed of -- wheeled
and soared and swung
high in the sunlit silence.
Hovr'ring there, I've
chased the shouting wind along,
and flung my eager
craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up, the long,
delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept
heights with easy grace
where never a lark
or even eagle flew.
And while with silent,
lifting mind I've trod
the high untrespassed
sanctity of space,
put out my hand, and
touched the face of God.
John Gillespie
Magee Jr.. Written September 3, 1941 during the Battle of Britain.
Pilot Officer Magee RCAF died on the
11th December, 1941, at the age of 19.
