DENNIS K. BAILEY: Pete Southwell sent
me the following information regarding the
passing of his friend and fellow club
member.
“On March 26, 2004, Dennis K. Bailey,
the president of the Brattleboro Area Flyers
RC Club in Brattleboro, Vermont, passed
away after his long battle with cancer.
Dennis was not only the president of the
club, but a great friend, instructor, and
someone who was always there to help out
anyone interested on the sport of RC flying.
Dennis Bailey, former president of the
Brattleboro Area R/C Flyers Club, who
passed away in March.
“On June 26, a ceremony was held at the
club’s flying field to celebrate the life of
Dennis Bailey and the contributions he made
to our club. The field is located on a former
landfill that is operated by the Windham
County Solid Waste Management District
(WSWMD).
“Our ceremony coincided with the
WSWMD’s 10th anniversary celebration.
The executive director, Don Murray,
attended our ceremony and praised the club
for its reuse of a landfill site.
“William Flood, the club’s vice
president, gave a heartfelt speech on behalf
of the club and its members. Dennis’s wife
Cathy, family members, friends, and many
club members attended the celebration.
Cathy unveiled the new sign that reads
‘Dennis K. Bailey Memorial Flying Field.’
Even though Dennis is no longer with us,
he’ll always be in our memory.”
