Hi Leo
You are right! Actually our grandson, Craig Swartz, agreed to do all of the work.  He hopes to have his Private Pilot License  by then.  He and his wife presented us with another GREAT GRANDSON.  That makes 8 great grandkids for us.
We are located at: 28695 East 2900 North road, Dwight,IL.
Travel directions are: From the intersection of Route 47 and Route 17 on the east side of Dwight, go south 3 miles to Road 2900 North Road. Turn left (east).  Drive east 1 3/4 miles to our home
The airport ID is 61is.  Listed on the Chicago sectional as JIM AND PEG.  We will be monitoring 122.85 MHz.  
We are going to have a lot of friends and relatives here too.  There will be NO donation jar. Friends include all of our Pilot friends!!!!
I hope we have good turn out from our Delta pilots and wives/friends or whatever.
If anyone wishes to camp, there will plenty of room.  Craig has planted some oats along the runway for aircraft parking.
Hope to see a lot of people
Jim and Peg
After I sent my message, Peg asked me if I had set a time.  We will have coffee, juice, and donuts(fat pills). We will eat the main meal around noon. We will set up by 0800 for early arrivals.  Anyone who will be camping can show up any time.  Those that can run grass mowers etc. can come a week in advance.

History: This is the 6th year we have had a Dunwoody Delta Golden Wings Christmas party. This is the second year we have been at the Ravinia Crown Plaza in Dunwoody. We had a great turn out last year and hope to have an even bigger group of friends this year.


If you are in the Atlanta local area or if you are coming from out of town and would like to stay for a night or so, we have a really good hotel rate of $89 at the Ravinia Crowne Plaza. This rate is good for three days before the event and three days after the event.

Having a nice rate on the rooms has given us the opportunity to open the  invitation to all of the Delta Golden Wings membership. Caution on the rooms: we do not have a guarantee on the number of rooms, so if you are planning on coming and would like to have a room, go ahead and reserve it. We had about 20 rooms last year used by Delta Golden Wings folks.

If you are doing some Christmas shopping, Perimeter Mall is right across the street from the hotel. MARTA is just two blocks and the hotel has free service to both places.

MARTA will quickly and cheaply get you to and from the airport and downtown Atlanta.

Atlanta has sporting events, shopping, World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium (world’s largest), College Football Hall of Fame (just opened) and many other places of interest.

We look forward to renewing old friendships! We hope to see you!
