Jerry,
The following goes to show that when you want to find it, you can't, and
then after you have owned up to the fact and reported it to the world, you
find it.
While repairing a FireFly corner wing brace down in the basement, I spied
some folders on one of the work tables. Looked through them and found the
brown envelope with the name on it. There were several telephone numbers on
it, but when I reverse looked them up, non seemed to be valid. So I Googled
machine shops in Dexter, Missouri and started calling. On the second call
they knew about Bill Dinkins (The name I heard and spelled as Denkins).
This fellow gave me his brother Ted's number in Dexter, and he gave me
Bill's number (573) 421-4250.
We had a nice talk. He has just retired. His plane has been in the shed
for five years. It is in good shape, and he said he would be pulling it out
this Spring and expects that after re plumbing the fuel system the 503 will
start right up and he will be back in the air.
He lives at 8805 cty road 412, Puxico, MO, which is about 20 miles next to
you.
I have completed making tubing splices for the broken wing braces on the
FireFly. And, I have removed and modified the right wing brace. I hope to
remount it tomorrow and then start on the left wing.

Jerry,
I have gone through my junk and I cannot find the brown envelope from Kolb
on which I wrote his name. I got on maps.google.com and looked for the
place but I could not find it. As I remember it, he lived north of Dudley,
but he worked in Dexter at a machine shop.
That's the best I can do.
Jack
