Mom's Log
Day 70
Friday, August 5
Portage, Wisconsin.
Last day of Oshkosh EAA Convention. Michael La France from San Diego flew Martha to Portage, Wisconsin in William Wright’s 1948 Luscombe Silvaire Sedan.

[insert pic here of Michael LaFrance crawling on the runway after a making a terrible landing – poor guy.]

She is going to rent a motel room and wash her clothes and rest and sort out her notes, etc. having collected over 500 names and addresses on file cards at Oshkosh. She is physically and mentally exhausted.

Day 71
Saturday, August 6
Wisconsin
No report this day. [see chapter on the Kari-Keen Man, the Cab Lady, the Ex-con and the Incessant Talker]

Day 72
Sunday, August 7
Wisconsin
She’s still at the Portage Airport. A man recognized Martha and the woman who drives the taxi and co-owner of the airport was very surprised to see that she was a “celebrity.” Had a lot of fun with this.
