President’s Perspective - 2003/11
ON AUGUST 11 at 2:08 p.m. Irish
Daylight Time (IDT), 9:08 a.m. Eastern
Daylight Time, history was made when
Maynard Hill’s TAM 5 (Trans Atlantic
Model) touched down in the area near
where Alcock and Brown landed in
Clifden, County Galway, Ireland,
completing a 1,912 mile, 381⁄2 hour flight
from St. Johns, Newfoundland.
President’s Perspective - 2005/04
WHEN I WAS RE-ELECTED president,
one of the Executive Council (EC) members
suggested that I present a “State of the Union”
address at the first EC meeting of the new
term. I thought it was a good idea and wrote
the address, but I was unable to present it in
person. A medical emergency prevented me
from attending an EC meeting for the first time
in 25 years.
On January 26, 2005, AMA’s Executive
Director Don Koranda read the statement to the
council. Well received, it was suggested that I
share the address with the membership.
President’s Perspective - 2007/07
Dyou belong to an AMA
chartered club? Many would say
of course, assuming that the
majority of AMA members do.
President's Perspective - 2006/09
It is much easier to develop new ideas
than it is to escape the old ones.
President's Perspective-2007/12
... AMA is there to provide a buffer
between the modelers and reality.
