Steve Kusak, Pilot in China

My "China National Aviation Corporation" personal page

The Party. Shanghai part 2.

One thing we all feel as we grow up is that we are inventors of fun and all that is around it. For example, the first time in my life I had a keg party I thought we invented it. However, I found pictures from this party in Shanghai where my dad and his friends had their CNAC-Keg-party.

That is Bob Pottschmidt on the left and Dick Rossi on the right (above).

My father with his camera. We have the negatives  from the camera he is using that day. So, there are 2 sets of pictures from that day.

That is Joe Rosbert in the middle (above).

I received an email from Steve Michiels identifying the people in this picture for me. Thanks Steve!

From Steve Michiels:  Frank Seminario (father of Isabel Michiels, dark hair with arm on table), farmer from Lancaster California visiting at "Boys Town" while awaiting arrival of Joe & Isabel Michiels' baby. F.J. "Joe" Michiels (our dad, receding hairline and smoking) CNAC pilot and a forever Steve Kusak pal. Madeline Seminario (in patterned dress looking down) (Isabel Michiels' sister, then a UCLA student, visiting Joe & isabel with her parents Frank & Severina Seminario) Isabel Michiels (turned slightly sideways in pictures, parted hair, looking a bit queasy?) (wife of CNAC pilot Joe Michiels, just prior to giving birth to our brother Bill there in Shanghai)

From Steve Michiels:  Frank Seminario (Isabel's/our mother's visiting father) Joe Michiels (CNAC pilot, Isabel's husband, our dad, Frank's father-in-law) .

That is Dick Rossi sitting close to the beautiful smiling lady.

There are many more pictures from that day. Some day, we will who everyone is...
