Denny (Dennis Guentzel, our neighbor to the northwest) pilots a 1929 WACO and takes the auction winner for the flight. Our respective busy Summer schedules prevented us from taking a flight during warm weather. By the time both of us were free the weather had turned cold and wet so it looked like it would have to wait until next Spring. However, Denny called at noon on October 14 to say there was going to be a short break in the weather so we hurried to the airport to get going. There was still snow on the mountains from a recent storm, but the temperature at the field was in the 50's.
