Hello. As many of you know, Jeff Geer (a pilot from Ferndale, WA), Melanie (my daughter), Bev McDaniel and I have been working on a project of historical proportions where Pilot Geer will fly an open cockpit bi-plane up the Alaska-Canadian coast, across the Bering Strait to Provodeynia, Russia retracing part of the Lend-Lease Route flown by pilots during WWII. The flight has never been made in an open-cockpit bi-plane.
Melanie has been instrumental in making a myriad of contacts to help support this project. One of her contacts includes the USA Coffee Company. Melanie came to me with an idea to have the students at Mossyrock help support this project by drawing the planes that flew the Lend-Lease Route. The winners' pictures would be put on a bag of coffee and sold at the USA Coffee Company websiste. Each grade level was assigned a plane to draw. Then the students chose three of the best drawn planes.
We are proud to announce that the students who were declared the winners in the "Draw An Airplane for Jeff" Contest have been posted on the usa coffee website. HOW ABOUT THAT? Three dollars from each bag of coffee will be given to the Bravo 369 project.
When you get to the website, scroll down to the bottom of the first page. Click on the Northern Flight Expedition Blend coffee bag. All of the students' drawings will appear. They are listed twice because one is for regular coffee and one is for DeCaf coffee.
