The big news for Thursday, from my perspective, was getting the 319 seat project into real motion. John Sheldon has been instrumental in making this possible. The seat backs will be recovered by the same upholsterer who did all of the seats for the 306. They're located in Walworth, Wisc. which is right on the way home for John. I cut out ten yards of the material we acquired a few years ago with the expert aid of Dick Lukin, and gave it to John. I then removed five more seat backs -- it takes a while -- and helped load them into his truck. When all six are done, they'll be put back in place. Most of the rest of the seats in the 319 are in pretty good shape, and they will be painted as necessary. So that's pretty exciting.
