SITENEWS: Bad News for me, but possibly good for the site

Thu Jul 11, 2019 4:14 pm

Well yesterday came as a bit of a shock. After 14 years I was let go from my job. The reasons are BS, it came down to cost savings.
As you can imagine this has brought an immense amount of turmoil to my family. It's going to be a rocky period for us but we will get through it.

What this means is that I will devote my time to the site for the next few weeks and try to make a go of making it a viable source of income. This is a bit ahead of schedule since I'd need to figure out a source of income while I work at home and take care of Mrs. WIX as her disease progresses. This just gives me a head start.

For those of you who currently support the site through subscription and donations, I thank you. You have allowed the site to grow and develop over the years.

I have dozens of projects in progress, including the Memorial Registry and the Forgotten Aviation sites. This crossroads I'm at will give me the time to work on progressing them forward as well as update the registry and the resource centers.

I you like what we do here, and would like to support it then please consider subscribing via Paypal (info here: http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/donate.html) or via Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/warbirdsresourcegroup)

I appreciate the continued support and hopefully we can grow this site to be the #1 Warbird site on the net.

Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your current challenges. I hope things get easier for you soon.

Have you contacted anyone in your local EAA Warbirds chapter? Perhaps they would be able to help with the site.

Rhode Island? I didn't know he was so close to where I live (North of Boston).

What's the nearest airport to you Scott?
