It was great to see old friends and meet a few new (to me) FTers. What a great evening it was. It made me realize how much I've missed these dinners since Denny retired. Although the ride back to the City on BART was rather creepy, I survived.

I received an email from Captain Denny this morning that he'd like me to pass along to all FlyerTalkers.
He was asked to come back to Oshkosh for the second time in three years to give the kick off speech Sunday night at 8:30pm July 21st. He would like to cross paths with any FlyerTalkers who may be there. Here is the information from the Official Airshow Kick-Off Program:

8:30 p.m. Capt. Denny Flanagan may be one of the most unusual four stripers you'll ever meet. When is the last time your Captain bought you pizza while you waited for a delayed departure? Denny has probably created greater personal connections with his passengers in 30 seconds than any formal loyalty program has in 30 years. "I just treated everyone like it's the first flight they've ever flown," said the Navy veteran. During layovers, he'd write thank you notes on the back of his business cards for the next flight, adding passenger names from the manifest after boarding. “I'd ask the FA to give out 50 cards to first class, and to those in middle seats in coach. The results of these gestures was quite surprising. Denny shares some of his funniest and most entertaining stories.
Two weeks ago he celebrated his 50th High School Reunion. He had a meet and greet at Farm Flanagan the night before and 87 attended. He contacted the pregnancy center and asked what they needed then asked his classmates to bring diapers size 4T. It was a very successful venture with 4353 diapers collected. He asked that I post this, as it may give someone the same idea for their upcoming reunion. He believes it is the responsibility of each generation to pass along what they have done that worked to future generations.

Hello Captain Denny friends!
There is an upcoming fundraising Gala on August 20th at Gaylord Rockies Restaurant in Denver, in honor of the Heroes of Flight 93 which will benefit the Captain Jason Dahl Scholarship Fund and The LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Foundation. Captain Denny will be the Master of Ceremonies. There will be a silent auction for stays at condos in Vail and Maui, international travel, United simulator ride certificates, a P-51 Mustang ride, and other flight experiences. Silent auction individual items will be available for viewing on the website in early August. If you can't attend in person, you can bid on items in the silent auction.
Further details are contained in this thread in the FlyerTalk Cares forum.
