Chapter 25 Airventure Activity Centers on Coffey Family Campsite
Once again, the Coffey family campsite served as “Chapter 25 Central” for transient Chapter members without a campsite of their own at this year’s Airventure. And, in the case of your Chapter President, an added bonus of a parking space convenient to the Airventure grounds. Sightings included Pat Halligan with some NWA pilot friends in tow and Ron Oehler visiting from his nearby campsite with former president Steve Beach (now in Witness Protection in another city as are many former presidents). Then there was Gary Rosch, Harvey Havir, Norm Tesmar, Peter Denny, Jim Ladwig — not to mention the annual sighting of Jeff Coffey himself. Jeff took out time from remaking the AOPA Website for the annual pilgrimage to the shores of Lake Winnebago. In the photo above, he waves the ceremonial first brat off the grill for Pat Halligan’s benefit.
