Allen, hello.

Before I write a full message, I’m testing that your email address is

still active.

I have lots of praise for your historical records and lots of

questions. My Dad and his Veterans’ Airlines was one of the cast of

characters at Sebring. I’m researching the airline and found you via

various resource search.

I hope we can be in touch.

My best,

Gaye Lyn

Allen, hello, again.

I’m hoping you receive this. I’m going strong with my research on

Veterans Air Express. Just two days ago, I made contact with one of the

original founders/pilot, Jack Stettner. He’s 92 years old, living with

his family in Florida. We’re planning a Veterans Air Express REUNION

next month. Living within 20 miles, I also found Marilyn Gries, widow of

Navigator Robert Gries. Their stores and others are on my website –

www.VeteransAir.org

Since my original email did not “bounce back,” I’m taking a chance that

it is still active. Perhaps got caught in your spam filter. Trying

again.

Hope to hear from you.

Yes, I got your email. I may have more pics… will look in the coming

weeks to see what we can find.

Allen, hi.

The Stettners & I have begun to plan the Reunion…I’ve

tentatively scheduled a trip there Aug 7 – 11. Once I know our specific

plans, I’d love to squeeze in a trip to Sebring, see the airport and

meet you. Will you be around during those dates? Also would you

recommend a trip to the Sebring Historical Society archives? Their

website says they’re open Mon – Thurs, so I’d probably have to visit

Monday, Aug 10, if I go at all.

Look forward to hearing from you,

g.
