Mom's Log
Day 37 continued
Later this day, M and brandon flew to Prescott, Arizona and M got a ride there in Bob DeFord's St. Louis Streetcar, which is not a car at all. It is a biplane that looks just like a Stearman. Bob said that the St. Louis Streetcar was built by a motor company and only 15 were built, and this one is the last in existence.

M went to the Ready Room to fill out logbook, in the hangar. It was like a fort similar to The 100th Bomb Group Restaurant at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, [only better]. Looked like a WWII Army headquarters, [barracks, with sandbags piled up,] old military uniforms and jeeps and WWII movies [and GlennMiller records]. There are 6 or 8 pilots here that call themselves “frustrated WWII fighter pilots” (a squadron of fanatics). Great fun. They loved Martha’s attire.
