District VI - 2011/04

April 2011 151
DURING 2011, the AMA is celebrating its
75-year anniversary. From the small
beginnings in 1936, it has grown into the
large organization it is today.
I am looking for any AMA members
who joined in the 1930s and 1940s. If you
are part of either group or know someone
who is, please send me the name. I would
like to recognize these members in a future
column.
St. Joseph, Missouri: Club #3577, the
Barnstormers RC Club, held its Balsa
Woodstock Air Show. This two-day event
was held in cooperation with the local EAA
chapter. Also attending was a local ultralight
flying club.
Day one was set aside for demonstration
flying by various groups and day two was an
open flying day.
There was time on the first day to honor
lifetime achievement award winners. The
Beckett and Heyde families were honored
for their work in promoting RC in the St.
Joseph area.
John Shipley sent in the pictures and
information.

prize.
