Almost 11 years ago, as I was reaching for the telephone to place an order

for an RV-6, I discovered (through this list) that it was being replaced by

the RV-7.  The next day I was assigned builder #70012.  



On January 26th, after more than 10 years, 3 houses, 4 jobs, 1 wife, and 2

kids, I happily relinquished my title as the owner of the oldest unflown

RV-7 kit.  N102PK has finally slipped the surly bonds.  It re-bonded about

1/2 hour later without any major squawks, due in large part to the list.  A

belated, but much deserved, contribution is currently being processed.

Rick,



My most sincere congratulations!  It is a great feeling that never leaves you.



You do realize now that very few experiences from now on will match this.

I'm [url=tel:70240]70240[/url] and Rich Emery is [url=tel:70238]70238[/url]. I'm guessing we've now inherited the title?

Anticipation of the posting below really helped keep me motivated over the

years - "Someday that will be me".  Thanks to Chuck and Dave for their

support of nearly 200 builders over the last 12+ years (quick archive search

of "Rowbotham & congratulations").  Now I believe that I am truly on to the

next phase of RV'ing.
