The Murphy Builders Site

Wow! What a fantastic adventure of a lifetime! Unbelievable scenery, and
wonderful people. I enjoyed meeting not only the builders, but also
family and friends. Brian, Susan, Anna -- all made the trip most enjoyable.

The only disappointment was when Garry and I won the airborne audio
talent contest by default. We would have preferred some vigorous
competition. Apparently our brilliant rendition of Old MacDonald -- in
harmony -- intimidated (appalled, disgusted?) other would be contestants.

I managed to closely inspect 7 different Rebels (including a few at
Oshkosh) and yakking with the builders provided invaluable info for
someone still building (bumbling?) away.

Today or tomorrow I'll set up an online gallery application for photos
on my server in Seattle. Anyone who wants to contribute may send pics
via email (50 MB limit per email) or on a CD via snail mail (below) or
you can upload yours direct. Anyone who wants to contribute can have
their own login to the gallery program so you can annotate and/or upload
your own photos.

Thanks again to Bob and Anna for their outstanding organizational and
shepherding skills, to Jim, Tom, and Ken for their wise technical
counsel, and most of all to Garry for his good company and the
opportunity to fly 3000 miles in a Rebel. Hopefully 254R will be ready
for the next Ramble.

Hi Ron, great to see you're also back safe and sound.
I've collected pictures from the eastern group and will do a little editing
so that we have a Ramble slide show that represents everyone's pictures but
keeps it down to around 400! It's great to see how pictures from different
sources fill in the visual holes in the story. If you or Gary want to send
some as well I could incorporate.
For instance - I didn't take any of the airport signs but Ken took a number
and Tom don't worry about mountain shots - we have a great representation
and Peter gave me a couple of my repair job, and Ken has some of Bob's
Ron if you could send me your phone number directly - then we can discuss
the best approach.

Cheers
Jim - WOC
