Hello everyone!

I have started writing a book about my journey. It will take some time to complete, so stay tuned as I bring you updates.

Feedback

I have gotten rested up from my journey to the 48 states and caught up on what I got behind on during those four months.

Although that journey is complete, my mission is ongoing. So tune in once a week or so to get the latest.

I have a request of those I met and those who heard about my mission through some media. Please tell me what my mission meant to you. That will help me to shape my mission for the future.

Yesterday I was met by a few close friends and reporters. After the interviews we went to lunch. My ground crew which consisted of: Steve Johnson, my technical guy, who helped with press, scheduling and communication; Lyle Holland, my weather advisor and physician; and absent was Jim Baker my mechanic. Many thanks to them for their support, without which the mission would have come to a premature end.

I need a week or so to catch up on the homefront and rest. But check back and I will have more.

Mission completed!

I had to wait for fog to dissipate, and ceilings to lift before leaving Dekalb and the new friends I had made.

There was lots of smoke in the air which reduced visability. The thermals were rough for the first 2 fuel stops. I rested at the second one til they dissipated, then flew on to Flippin, Ark. Where I hangar Purple Passion.

My mission to encourage cancer patients in the 48 states is complete. But my ministry is not. God is using me and I feel so honored and humbled that he chose me. I hope to continue speaking at churches and to other groups.

I will continue posting on this blog, but not everyday. I need a few days to rest and organize my thoughts of recapping my journey and planning whats next.

May God bless each of you and thanks for your prayers!

Dekalb, ILLinois

Low ceiling did not allow departure until afternoon. I was given a tour of the EAA museum. It would take 2 days to read all the placques. I was fascinated by how small The Spirit of St. Louis was! The windscreen was replaced by another fuel tank. The only forward vision was thru a side periscope! He landed at nite on a field that was lit by car headlites!

Upon arrival at Dekalb, I was met by Kris, a cancer patient, and members of the local EAA chapter. Then a strange twist of events occurred! Kris gave me a ride in his plane! First time in years I had been a passenger.

Kris is from Polland and moved to the US 

(Or should I say, he was kicked out by the Russions) during the time Polland was fighting for their freedom. I was treated like family and made more new friends.

I will head for home tomorrow. Not sure if I can make it. May have a late start again due to fog/low ceilings!
