Norm is good sh#t! Almost all the old ex-Eastern guys were good sh#t. The exception being the three-fingered Furmanator.

Norm, by himself, probably kept Snow Hill CC in business during his time in ILN.

I'll crack one for him this weekend! He was a really fair guy. I am glad to have known him.

So for any new hires that were looking for a place to stay, I did some digging today and not everyone answered or called back yet. I picked up a room at the cherry bend hunting lodge. Not sure how many rooms they have left, if any, but it's $400 a month.

The Wilmington Inn is offering a weekly rate of $309.19. That's with taxes included.

The Royalton Inn and Suites was willing to do $396 a week. I couldn't understand him very well, bad connection. So if you call, just double check the price and see if that was with taxes or not. Maybe get him a bit lower.

There are other B & B's in the area but 2 were closed and another never returned my call.

The Holiday Inn and Holiday Express were both just the basic ABX rate, which is okay but will get pricey with such a long stay.

The General Denver Hotel is going to get back to me with a rate.

FWIW...if you decide to stay with a hotel/motel type of a place you may consider speaking with the manager about a monthly rate. Or better put, a rate that you commit to a 30 day stay. If so, inquire about an in-state tax break. State law says that if you stay 30 day (technically consecutive) you can receive the room tax free (there is a little paper work involved). Some may do this for you and should be aware of the rules.

I was there 15 years ago. Two huge thumbs up...

I worked with Norm in DC-8 Standards. He gave an awesome "Captain upgrade" class. I don't care who you were, or what you had done; everyone learned something, in a non- threatening way. Great guy.

I also spent 3 years at the Cherrybend Pheasant Farm; a dream crash pad situation, if there ever was one.
