District I Report - 2005/02
September 11, 2001
September 11, 2001 was a terrible day for the United States, one that we will not forget. The 495th R/C Squadron chose to remember this day by dedicating the name of its flying site to one of the pilots involved, Captain John Ogonoski.
Captain Ogonoski was a resident of Dracut, Massachusetts, a local farmer, and a respected member of the community.
I had hoped that one of the pictures taken that day would be on the cover of MA or that a full article would be written. It appears that is not going to happen, so I will devote this column to that event.
Cheryl Field, who was treated to a helicopter ride for the aerial shot, provided the pictures. Thank you to Dave Brown, the AMA president, for attending this event. Also attending were State Senator Susan Tucker and James Miceli, a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
Elections
Effective January 1, 2005, you will have a new District Vice President.
This will be my last column, so thank you to all of the people who voted for me, and thanks to all of the district officers who have donated their time and talent throughout the years.
Cheers!
