After retiring CWD learned to fly a small airplane, and was a member of the "Flying Farmers of America". For visits to Wisconsin he would fly his "aerocoupe" two-seater with grandma in the co-pilot's seat. A typical visit would begin with the plane buzzing the Danford home at Eagle Lake ---- we would drive to a nearby airport, or even a farmer's field converted to a landing strip, and meet the plane.
