District XI Report - 2003/08
Obituary: Chick Young
It is with the greatest regret that I advise you of the passing of Chick Young.
Chick was born on December 10, 1919, and was a member of the Boeing Hawks and the Mount Rainier Radio Control Society. He served as an Associate Vice President of our district for many years and was a good friend and help to many, including myself.
Chick had been suffering from a lung infection for a month and passed away on April 29, 2003. He will be missed.
Apple Blossom Festival Fly-In
On May 2, 3, and 4, the Red Apple Flyers of Wenatchee, Washington, hosted their annual Apple Blossom Festival Fly-In. The Apple Blossom Festival draws thousands of people from across the Pacific Northwest, with parades, car shows, and entertainment for everyone. In addition to the fly-in, the Red Apple Flyers hosted an open house for the public.
This year, as in the past, hundreds of people came to the club's beautiful field to spend the afternoon. It is one of the nicest fields in the Northwest and is the result of many years of hard work and dedication.
John Divis was the event organizer and contest director (CD). In keeping with the club's reputation as gracious hosts and great organizers, this year was no exception.
There were approximately 40 flyers in attendance, many from great distances. This traditional event continues to grow each year.
'Til next time, Happy Trails.
