Hi folks! Ruth and I are getting settled in here and meeting many new airplane buds. One of the best reasons for living here is the people who have made us feel so welcome.
As I have found throughout the country, modelers are all pretty much the same. You have the “movers and shakers,” those who make this hobby so much fun, and then the majority of the members—those who simply want to fly.
Fortunately, there are enough of the former who work so hard to help us keep this great hobby alive. I would like to dedicate this month’s column to those who move the ball forward for us. Please understand that there is certainly not enough room to mention all of those I have worked with over the years, but here are just a few.
Executive Council
- Dave Mathewson — AMA president.
- Jim Wallen — District IX Vice President; among other things, he heads the Staff Liaison and Affairs Committee.
- Jim Rice — District VIII Vice President; chairs the Safety Committee.
These people give many, many hours of volunteer time and energy. When you see them, please take a moment to personally thank them.
Local Club Members
- Ron and Angie Stickels — always there to lend a hand.
- Glenn Mouille — our top chef and goodwill ambassador who always brightens the room when he is about.
- Bob Richardson — very active in the Central Arkansas Model Aviators Association, as illustrated by the club’s event report.
That’s it for this month. Don’t forget to slather up and keep in touch!
