via email from Valerie McKeachie, 9-21-10 I had contacted you years ago. I just wanted to let you know that there will be a Bi-plane reenacting the first cargo flight of silk from Dayton to Columbus on October 2. There will be a press release in Ohio today, then it should feed to other papers. I’m not sure where you’re located, if you’ll see this or not. My husband is a son of Phil Parmelee, who was the son of Florence Parmelee, Phil’s youngest sister, who was born after his death. Florence died when Phil (my father in law) was 16, and his aunt Hazel (Phil’s other sister by Jennie and CW) adopted him and changed his last name to McKeachie. Phil and Helen were both children of C.W and Sadie. Hazel, Bob, and Florence were children of C.W and Jennie. I don’t know anything about Helen. Hazel married Cecil McKeachie, and they had no children, but adopted Florence’s son, Phil. Bob had a son named Mike, who is still living, in Florida. I’ll ask my husband if there are any more children from Bob. Florence married Chester Helms. She already had her son Phil Parmelee, and her and Chester had a daughter named Diane.
