About 2 weeks ago I took a 2 day trip to Quantico with my good friend Mike Grzebien. Mike is retiring from the Air Force and is home on terminal leave. He drove up to VA from NC and we both drove up to Quantico on Sunday. My daughter Gretchen arranged for us to meet with the Aviation and Ordnance Curators for a tour of the storage and restoration facilities. We spent about 2 hours looking at armor and aircraft in various stages of restoration and condition. Mike is an avid modeller and was like a kid in a toy store. (OK I was too but only in the armor building)We got lots of photos and inside scoop on what's going on behind the scenes. We also got over to the museum to see the new gallery that opened in June. The swords that th APG are on display and branded with labels acknowledging the APG participation. On the way back we stopped at Brandy Station Battlefield to hike one of the trails the CWPT has put in on property they've preserved. We also stopped at the Cedar Mountain Battlefield on the way home. A full 2 days but lots of fun.
Sounds like a blast Mike and you look like you were having a blast. ~Jim
