Mom's Log
Day 63
Friday, July 29
Wisconsin
Martha met Sandy Vogelpohl and Eric Friedebach and is staying the night in a hotel room of Jane and Ben Sheik from central Illinois. Jane is one of the organizers of the show and a 99 pilot. Martha gave a talk at the Women’s activity tent. Paul Poberezny stopped to see Martha. He was on his motorcycle with his 5 yr. old granddaughter named Audra. Martha was at the flea market when a woman there [Jenny Dyke] took her to the forum seminar tent next door.

Gordon Baxter was speaking to a crowd of people overflowing the tent. The woman made room for Martha up front. Gordon saw and recognized her after a while and invited her to the microphone. It was great fun and the thrill of a lifetime for Martha.

Day 64
Saturday, July 30
Wisconsin
A TV Star made a 30 min. broadcast at Oshkosh (shown channel 8, Sun 8-14-88). It is syndicated and will be shown at 30 stations next week. M had a 5 min segment on (radio?). M slept in a tent on the ground (very tired next day). Hardly any sleep—very uncomfortable.

Day 65
Sunday, July 31
Wisconsin
Martha made reservations at University of Wisconsin dorms where Oshkosh people are staying—4 mile bus ride to Oshkosh. She gave a talk to the Women of EAA today.

Day 66
Monday, August 1
Wisconsin

Live on 5 TV station interviewed Martha on the announcer’s stand as did a Cable TV Co. She saw an old 1918 replica of a SE-5 and took the Cable people over to it for the interview. A 46 year-old man dressed in a WWI outfit representing himself as a 91 year-old pilot who crashed on an iceberg owned the plane and it took him 12 years to restore it. It was positively uncanny for this to happen as Martha also used a very similar story to describe herself. [Frozen Barnstormer tale.] TV Cable shot them both and it was quite a happening! His name is Fred Jungclaus. It was almost midnight when they finished dinner at The Pirate’s Cove Restaurant at Oshkosh 3 miles into town. Before they left for dinner they hitchhiked from the campground and 15 cars jam-packed passed them by. The next car took them to the picnic area where 100 people from Sun ‘n Fun were gathered. Martha knew Billy Henderson (head of Sun and Fun at Lakeland), Bonnie Higbee, and Jack Deveroux, the writer from Aviation News, and his two daughters.
