TENNESSEE VACATION

It's been five or six years since we have had a vacation that was not project oriented (house repair, hay, etc) so our trip to Tennessee was a special time. Dennis and Anna had fun "hanging out together" and riding rides at Dollywood. Ethan had a great time, and won the first place medal, in the chicken race at Dixie Stampede. But, our favorite time of all was visiting with Garland. We had rebuilt his airplane when Dennis and I first came to MMS Aviation 21 years ago. Our son spent 2 summers working on Garland's camp in Canada. This was the first time they had seen each other for 16 years. What a great reunion and wonderful time of fellowship. It was a good reminder to us that it is the people who are reached through these planes that are so important and that is why we do what we do. And guess what - he even let me ride his horse.
