It's amazing the things you find when you're not looking for them. When
looking for the landing gear leg templet I've gone through boxes in the
garage I've not looked through for many years. Digging through one box
I came across an envelope from EAA. Inside the large white envelope was
a certificate awarded me for my "Centennial Homebuilt" for being
certified within days of the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers
flight. I recalled getting the certificate but didn't realize that also
in the envelope was a metal plaque to affix to the airplane.

The plaque will get affixed to the KR tomorrow and the certificate will
get mounted inside the 24"X 36" framed photo hanging at the local
airport of my KR in a high speed low pass to accompany my certificate
for "Master Pilot Award". The letter that came with the certificate was
signed by no other that (drum roll.........) Charlie Becker.
Adding to that is my military uniform is in my hometown museum, the
first copy machines developed by Xerox that I worked on when employed by
Xerox 54 years ago are in the Smithsonian museum, the crypto machines I
worked on in the military are now in the "Crypto" museum. Is all that
what you call "tracks in the sand"?
