Thanks Robert,

Unfortunately Lifeshare is committed to another event that day but we hope to do a blood drive later this year.

I like most people don’t know exactly where I’ll be on March 19, but pencil me in and I’ll make plans to donate and help in any way I can. Give me a call if there is anything I can do before hand.
Thanks (from Robert)

I asked about Hank and got this reply. . .

Thanks for asking. He’s recovering from surgery and getting stronger each day. Please know that your prayers will certainly be appreciated.

Not sure if anyone noticed but yahoo and google keep losing and finding our site. It’s from me trying to improve the header.php and meta tags. I set it back to original and hope they list us in the first few sites soon (may be a week or 2)

Another mission successfully completed by two (Bob Kendrick, L-4 and Hugh Hunton, L-3) of the three Blunderbirds (Jim Malone had to work, L-2). A desperate phone call by the Mayor of Ida, Louisiana, who had planned a gala reunion of WWII’s 357th Fighter Group, pleading for a fly-over of L-birds after his scheduled P-51 had aborted the day before the event. Pretty neat, substituting L-birds for a P-51! The gathering had dual purposes; first, to honor Ida native and WWII P-51 ace Fletcher Adams who was shot down and killed in May 1944, and secondly, to dedicate a museum for Adams and members of the 357th. The featured speaker was BGen Chuck Yeager. The Shreveport Times had an article on the event in which the Blunderbirds were honorably mentioned. The following is an extract from that article:

“The major setbacks for the day were Gov Bobby Jindal sending his regrets due to tropical storm Bonnie threatening the Gulf Coast, and the break down of a P-51 Mustang scheduled to perform a flyover. Instead, two World War II-vintage Liaison planes flew patterns overhead”. I guess we were part of the “Major Setback”!

These two aircraft were flown by their respective owners. Bob Kendrick is flying his L4 and Hugh Hunton is flying his L3 Aeronca! A tremendous thanks goes out to each of these memebers for helping in this event! GC
