After returning to Ohio, having ridden with Gerry on the Goldwing, Frank was presented with this Certificate. The last time he had ridden a two-wheeler was at age 19 (50 years ago) on his Lambretta scooter. I had to ask what the definition of "pillion" was. It is riding as a passenger, behind the rider.

Gill, Beth and I went to Chicago for a couple days while the guys stayed longer looking at airplanes. One day was at the Art Institute of Chicago. One of my favorites exhibitions was the "Miniature rooms".

These miniature rooms are 1 inch to every foot in actuality. The detail was amazing. A second exhibit I loved was the paper weight collection.
