Wow, does time ever fly. I have had some trouble adding things to the blog on my trips due to slow internet access and time constraints. I am on vacation now, but not getting any rest. My wife and I were supposed to be in Germany visiting relative right now but that got cancelled due to her father suddenly needing gall bladder surgery. He is a lucky guy though. Had the gall bladder removed and diagnosed with cancer. The surgeon also checked a liver sample and the surrounding ducts and found no other cancer. He was told that he is one of 5 persons of around 5,000 cases of this very rare and aggressive cancer in the US that has a good chance of survival. Right now they are waiting on doctor’s consultation with the Mayo clinic and University of Chicago on what else needs to be done.
I’ve been real busy working on projects for DANK just about every day. Right now we are getting ready for German Fest in Milwaukee from July 23 to July 26. I will be in the DANK Sponsorship and PR tent most of the time. We will be promoting membership and our DANK Credit card with currently 4 beautiful designs on all four days. To entice sign up for both the credit card and membership we are giving away a beautiful DANK t-shirt with an artistic graphic of the top of the Brandenburg gate in Berlin.
Free T-shirt at the Festival
So if you visit German Fest, come pay us a visit. We will be just south of the main entrance. DANK will also be represented at the cultural tent area, manned by our Milwaukee, Wisconsin chapter. After German Fest, the EAA Air-venture in Oshkosh will be going on and I plan to visit that also. The Airbus A-380 will be coming in on Tuesday, July 29 and perform some fly-bys. I would expect some interesting maneuvers from the French, so it should be exciting.
I’ll be back on the blog soon so don’t forget to check from time to time.
Best Wishes,
Captain Bill
P.S. After watching the latest Star Trek movie, I don’t know why I did not name this blog: Captain’s Blog.
