Sep 7, 2001 we held our fundraiser at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in
McMinnville, Oregon, which was built to house the Spruce Goose plus
other interesting aircraft.

a P-51 Mustang, and a Supermarine Spitfire. Only the P-51 is
visible. The Spruce Goose, the largest airplane ever built, looms
in the middle of the building. Photo by Terry Thompson.
Steve Lee, manager of the UP steam program, was our after dinner
speaker and shared many interesting stories from his years of
experience operating and maintaining the UP 844 and 3985.
