You can click on that link, and it will directly take you through the on line process to sign up. Keep in mind the event is ‘free’, but we do have a per person fee that goes directly into food, beverages, space , tables and tools. The online set up explains options on covering this expense so that Kevin and Shelley are just hosting the event, not underwriting it.
Shelley has set up a very elaborate Face book page full of information. This is an open page that you do not need to be signed up with Face Book to read:
It has a lot of basic information and will be updated as we go.

Our illustrious host Kevin Purtee, above, at CC#22. Kevin lives two lives in aviation: His day job is piloting an Apache helicopter and his passion is his Pietenpol and his part in that community. Symbolic of his wearing two hats in aviation is the fact he’s wearing a sock monkey knit hat while making a serious point on his introduction speech. He is cool enough to do this and never crack a smile.
About two thirds of the attendees of Corvair College #22 March 9-11, 2012, gather in front of host Kevin Purtee’s Pietenpol. You can read the story of that event at this link: http://www.flycorvair.com/cc22.html
Kneeling in the front row is Gary Boothe of California who was attending his fifth Corvair College. Gary’s Piet is done and his engine ran at Corvair College 18. (You can see his plane at this link: New Pietenpol, Gary Boothe, Cool, Calif. ) Yet he comes back for more because the spirit and the camaraderie of the events are contagious in a modern era of aviation where a real spirit of community is often difficult to find.
