Bill Oberdieck Vice President
I want to take a minute to use this column for an announcement. Bren Bailey, an Associate Vice President (AVP) for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, has submitted his resignation. Bren and his family are moving to another part of Michigan, so he is resigning. Bren did a great job for AMA while an AVP, and his abilities and performance will be sorely missed. In the meantime, I will be looking for a replacement for Bren.
District VII AVP Tom Pierce and I had the pleasure of attending a celebration of the Radio Control Club of Detroit (RCCD). Rarely does one have the opportunity to partake in this sort of event.
The occasion was to celebrate RCCD’s 50th anniversary as an AMA-chartered club. It was quite a celebration with historical examples of what the club has endured throughout the years.
It also gave Tom and me an opportunity to present the RCCD with a flag bearing the club logo and dates to three of the four founding members. The fourth member, Ernie Kratzet, was in Florida at the time of the presentation.
Mike Busseo sends in the next report. The Willmar Area R/C Club of Willmar, Minnesota, held its annual Mall Show on Saturday, May 3, 2003.
As many of you know, I generally sign off my column with "fly safe, fly smart, and have fun. Introduce a youngster to our hobby" and the letters C.A.V.U. Steve Szuminski of Saline, Michigan, sent a picture of his license plate with C.A.V.U. Thanks, Steve — it is much appreciated. C.A.V.U.
