On the way. BTW, one of our local Chiefs of Police is a balloon pilot, and a young lady in my records division is as well. She is a college student preparing for law school.

Mike Deikhoff is out of Bloomington and Jennifer Vance from up north- i many in her family are pilots as well. I also recall Bill Oliver, whom I went to school with and runs a family winery here was very big into that with the company logo on the balloon.

That is so impressive and commendable! As others have written just to have worked at the same place for all those years shows incredible work ethic! And truly a dying breed!

Congratulations!!!!
