Does anyOne remember the thrill of waiting for the Harvest Days Parade to begin – sidewalks and side streets packed with eager expectations – then one minute before 10am three airplanes in a uniformed triangle soared 150 feet above the Parade route bringing total excitement and loud cheers; especially the first time it happened. My Father Vernon Goheen flew the lead plane – one plane on each side, close and concise ! What a Wonderful thrilling memory of Harvest Days and My Father whom I miss very much.
