All,

As most of you all know, my Uncle Mike, who was a pilot and helped rebuild my grandfathers BT-13 http://www.bt-13.org/41-9559/41-9559.html passed away from his 9 year battle with cancer 4/13/09.

He left his family with no insurance and little money to deal with. His funeral and burial was paid for by family and friends out of pocket.

I created a Warbird Calendar with all proceeds going to the family during this time of grief.

Lulu.com will be used to print on demand, calendars The storefront is located at http://www.lulu.com/paulkrumrei

I thank everyone who sent in pictures, keep them coming, I will be creating an additional calendar as well with those left over from the first round of pictures!


Thank you!

Paul Krumrei

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

We are still having a hard time with his loss.

Hopefully, after getting some of these calendars sold, the family can help put a dent in paying off the funeral and medical bills.

Thanks to everyone!

Only a few have been sold. :( If you can please give to this great cause. I know it is asking a lot in these time of the economy, but you get a great calendar with 20 months worth of great donated photos from all of you great people here at the WIX!

Thank you again!

I am getting a ton of more pictures for another Benefit Calendar, however, I really never sold more then a few of the others.

What if I make a Benefit Calendar, with half of the profits going to Mike's family and the other to the WIX?

The calendar you have now is awesome Paul! You guys should order it, the layout is amazing and I am partial to the pic I took of CAfs P-39 at WOH on the May pics. Its worth every penny, so give Paul a hand and order this calendar.
