It’s official…

I am going NUTS!

What is the news from Philly?

I am almost to the point that I would drive to the airport and hop a plane, but I couldn’t get there before everything is supposed to be done for the day.

Team members promised me when I decided to stay home with my family rather than go to Philly that they would keep me informed!

I haven’t heard a word :frowning:

The best I have is a message taken by my wife informing me that I should “sleep well” last night because the practices seemed to go pretty well. But… sadly, my wife is not a FIRST maniac so she doesn’t know all the questions to ask and would forget important details even if she did!

So… I am stuck here in Michigan, dieing for news.

I can imagine many more bad scenarios than good ones to explain the lack of news…

Oh well, what can’t be changed must be endured.

In the mean time, let us all know if you hear any news from the front.

Well it is not entirely our fault. We are knee deep in floppies and
can not come to the phone! We left two messages on your phone at home.
This is to verify that you received the good news about winning the
Motorola Quality Award. We continued to tweak and adjust for easier
pilot control. The tweaking included some software changes, and
addition of stops to eliminate basket free fall when power is cut. We are
sure we will have a great day tomorrow. If does not calm you down
contact us at the hotel. Sorry Jeremy has not had the chance to post
pictures.

Jeremy and Mike A.
