Hi, Rick,
As I said it's good to hear again from old friends and so please accept my sincerest apologies for having hurt your feelings. My remark about "... the bad men at EAA..." was meant purely in a joking spirit. In fact I was a member of EAA for many years but I canceled my membership after I had stopped flying. I still have my old membership card but I thought it silly to try to "break the doors" by using it.... though I'm sure the EAA's computer system would have blocked me anyway.
Admonish me for having given up my membership years ago and you'd be right!
Best wishes,
Johannes

Johannes,
It’s great to see you back on the list and researching the history of Denny’s work. It’s certainly interesting.
My only comment, and this is as a long time Kitfox owner, List friend and EAA Member dating back to nearly the beginning and also as the current Chairman of the EAA Homebuilt Aircraft Council, and member of the EAA Board Directors. I think it’s great that the history provided on the EAA website provides the ability for many of us to do the research we enjoy. This is all made possible by the dues the members pay as well as the sponsors at AirVenture/Oshkosh. Without them there wouldn’t be a website - or EAA. It’s not a public website, it’s for the dues paying members. It hurts that we would be thought of as the bad men at EAA for allowing only our dues paying members access to their funded resources. If everyone had free access to all that EAA offered, why would anyone pay dues? Eventually EAA would be forced to shutdown for lack of funding and then no one would have the resources you and I and others find so valuable. I’m sorry if this comes across as harsh as I certainly don’t mean to offend anyone, but being referred to as the badmen at EAA just struck me as off target. I would like to personally invite you to join EAA and then you would have unfettered access to all we have to offer. Your writings could possibly be included in the Experimenter or Sport Aviation so all EAA members could appreciate the fine work you’re doing.
Regards,
Rick Weiss
