Kolb Listers:
The material gathered at the 2008 Father's Day Gathering has been posted to the web site:
http://gtalexander.home.att.net
Click on the "Homer's Fan Club" link to view all the material from the 4 times that this event has occurred. (I have reorganized the navigation from previous years. Hope it makes it easier to view.)
Once again, on behalf of those who were fortunate enough to attend, I would like to thank the entire Kolb family for their hospitality. As in the past, just being there is an experience that would be hard to match. The welcoming atmosphere provided by the Kolb family makes it really special.
Also would like to thank, Terry Frantz for his efforts in coordinating the event. Contributors of images in this year's edition include Marcus Kolb, Russ Kinne and Dave Starbuck.
If any of you have any comments concerning the web site, please let me know. If there are errors of commission or omission in the material, let me know that too and I will try to correct them.

George A:
Thank you very much for the major effort you make to share with the rest of us folks.
It is especially nice to be able to participate in activities that we can not make in person.

Thanks George.
We missed you and your picture taking talents at Nauga last weekend. Ronnie had plenty of wild pig left over.

George Alexander,
You bugger you. I distinctly recall Terry Frantz taking your picture, with your camera, and ordering you to insert your picture, onto your web site, along with all the other Kolbers that attended the event, which by the way, you have done an excellent job of recording. Thank you!

Bill:
Being in a witness protection program prohibits publication of my picture. (Sound good? No? Broke the camera. How's that?)
For those who don't know the story behind Bill's signature (Bill "the builder" Varnes)....
....At the 2004 gathering at the Kolb farm, Bill told the group that when he was buying his kit from Kolb, someone said that he didn't look like a flyer. A builder maybe, but not a flyer. Looks can be deceiving. How many PIC hours do you have now, Bill?
Regards,
George Alexander

Hi George,
That someone was Dave Starbuck when he was working at old Kolb. I had stopped in one day to look over the FireStar and he was the one that convinced me it was easy to build.
I don't recall how much time passed, but on June 30, 1989 I stopped in again and purchased a kit from Homer.
My pilot flight log shows 535 hours of total time. Of that, 492 hrs were in my Kolb and 43 hrs were in various other craft, mostly in a PA18 90hp Super Cub, which is what I trained and soloed in, but also flew a Taylorcraft BC12D, Cessna 140, J3 Cub, Cessna 150 and an Aeronca Champ. Started flying April 5, 1958 through Feb 1, 1967. Then a big gap of almost 27 years of no flying until I got the Kolb going. First flight in my Kolb was June 18, 1994. Never got a PVT license, but do have the USUA UL pilot license. Now aren't you sorry you asked?
