Fellow Kolber's
At a time when we all are reeling from the loss of one of our own, John
Williamson. I find myself in the position of having to ask the Kolb
List group to let me know if your attending the Fathers Day Fly-in at
Homer and Clara's farm. When speaking to Clara, she asked if we were
still going through with the fly-in and I told her that I thought that
John would want it to still happen. The Kolb's are also stunned and
saddened at the news of John Williamson leaving us.
If you would please respond as to your intention to come to the fly-in
it will help them plan for the picnic they so generously provide each
time at.
For those that wish to camp out either Friday before that Saturday or
the evening after the fly-in, here are the choices as I know of them.
That same weekend, Friday through Sunday, there is an Ultralight fly-in
at Shreveport North in York County, PA about 77 miles to the west. Some
of us will be going there after the fly-in at Homer's Saturday afternoon
to camp that night. Then there is Smoketown Airport just east of
Lancaster, PA which is a very friendly airport where they will let you
camp and there are restrooms open 24 hr.s and places to eat within
walking distance. Smoketown is 36 miles west of Homer's. Also, Gene
Zimmerman has offered to have you stay at his place, a farm northwest of
Lancaster just east of Elizabethtown. Ask him and he will provide
directions, he on the List. He is about 54 miles from Homer's and a
good host. Last, there is my airstrip, Hideaway Airpark, listed on the
Washington sectional. It is a nice quiet place to camp and we can have
a large bonfire there. No restroom facilities other than the woods, but
my home is near by if needed and we could have a nice barbecue. I can
also supply transportation into the local town for anything else that
might be needed. My airstrip is southwest and 36 miles to Homer's also
and 11 miles south of Smoketown. These are better alternatives than
imposing on the Kolb's hospitality further by asking them to camp at
their place!
Saturday morning many will group up at Smoketown airport to make a large
flight to Homer's. Usually we try to leave there by 9 am. I understand
he really enjoys it when the sky is full of his airplanes above his
field. Other type planes are also welcome.
Hope you are making plans to attend and looking forward to seeing you
there!!! Please let me know so that I may inform Clara as to an
approximate number. Thank you!
Again, it is difficult to post this request in the present situation. I
know John Williamson and John Hauck with Steve Green were planning on
flying up here together for this. May his family find some comfort in
knowing how many people he touched and admired him! I was one!!

Terry,
I am still planning to fly up for the fly-in and camp somewhere Thursday
through Saturday nights.
The last few days have been really tough after hearing the news of John
Williamson. My best aviation memories are the trips that I have taken with
John W. and John H. I will always remember John's smile, his eagerness to
take a kid a ride at the Kolb Homecomings, his sunrise flights, and his
ability to quote the (current) FARs with ease. John was a brilliant man. I
first met him at the Kolb Homecoming, I think 2002, after he finished his
Kolbra, got to know him better on the Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk trip in 2003,
and spent most of a day with him at OSH 2005.
I will sincerely miss him. My prayers are with his family. May God's peace
be with them.

I plan on attending, weather, family, and Cuyuna permitting. I'll be
driving in with my UltraStar in tow, unless somebody can suggest a place to
camp overnight and fly in from in eastern PA or NJ northeast of
Homer's. Unfotunately, Shrevport and Smoketown are too far out of my way.

Terry,
I am UNABLE to attend this year. Last year was absolutely great experience for me as the first and only (so far) Kolb group fly-in I've been able to attend. That is where I met John Williamson and so many others who I've grown to know a bit and appreciate a lot.
