Maynard Hill
I received a letter from Maynard Hill with the following:
“On October 20, 2004, at 7 p.m., I will be giving a lecture about our transatlantic model record at the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks, Connecticut.
The talk is essentially the same story as the ‘Two Sunsets...’ article in Model Aviation, January 2004. There is some embellishment with music and humor and I’ve generally had appreciative audiences.
I’ve given the talk to all sorts of groups ranging from Rotary Clubs to professional aviation associations, from high school students to senior citizens, from RC clubs to my hometown (where there were at least nine of my cousins!). I have the most fun if there are aeromodelers in the audience. They appreciate the difficulties we overcame and are more receptive to my humor.
If you can still get an announcement and description of this event into your column before October 20, I would appreciate your doing so. In any event, I hope you will pass the word and that you will be able to come.”
This sounds like a fun evening; I hope you will be able to attend.
495th Scale Show
I will continue from last month with some more pictures.
These pictures were provided by Paul Gosselin, Art Alfano, and some were mine.
I have been advised that the 495th R/C Squadron has been recognized as an AMA Gold Leader Club. Nice job, members!
