my work day at Geneseo

[Nathan]

If anyone is interested:


Spent the day at Geneseo yesterday. Not many around. Got to talk with Austin W.. He and the gang left to get lunch so Austin W. left me in charge of the museum which was pretty cool to have him trust me like that. After they left and being by myself a couple come in. So I gave them a tour and they both told me I did a really good job. They paid there way and left very happy. Then another group showed up and I gave them a tour also. Everyone was very happy with my performance and knowledge of all the aircraft and history of the museum. They were all impressed with Memphis Belle and I let them climb aboard the C-47 and An-2. All in all I was able to make some money for the museum while the headmasters were out so I feel pretty good about the day. After Austin and the gang came back I spent some time cleaning the main hanger floor. It is now nice and clean. Also would like to add I made a donation today to go towards the B-23 project. Not much but every penny helps, right?

This is one thing I love about Geneseo. I dont get there very often but when I do I am treated as family. Giving tours might be normal for those that do it daily at the museum but for me it makes me feel great in knowing that I am taking more steps in becoming a part of the warbird community.

Now on with a few pictures.

Enjoy and thanks,
Nathan

Enjoyed the pictures .... How about sending the old vet an inside picture of the Radio Operator position?

[Nathan]

Sorry Jerry, I don't have any inside shots of her. But she is pretty gutted.

No problem Nathan ... thought I'd give it a try .. I had some great moments inside the 119 sometimes called the $119 as well as the Flying Coffin.

I have a few embroidered C-119 items that I wear pretty much including a hat, shirt and sweat shirt.

Thanks again, and good luck with your volunteering.

Wow,
That place looks alot quieter than in July!

Oh, I am so ready!
Anybody made plans for next year yet?

Awesome Nathan.

You are involved with one great group and should be thrilled about that! Truly Im envious of your proximity to the best little grass field this side of the Mississippi! You keep honest, do anything you can, and you'll go far with that museum.

Wasn't there a plan to repaint the Boxcar at one point? Is that still in the works?

Just wanted to say a big 'well done' to Nathan for getting stuck in here. You are doing good stuff, keep it up.

Much better than wasting time on WIX.
