Hi Ron,

I met Rhett at the '91 Team Trials that you and Tony CD'd at Duke 
Auxiliary Field.  He and I went to lunch at the Snack Shack during 
one of the many rain delays.  My recollection from our conversation 
is that he was an investment banker in Tallahassee with several kids. 
He was only able to fly in the Team trials due to Ron Chidgey loaning 
him one of his YS-powered MV-1 Typhoons with a Futaba 512PCM radio 
that Ron had converted to single-stick.  IIRC, Rhett finished 24th 
out of a field of nearly 50 with little or no practice.  A good pilot 
and a really nice guy.

Thx, Jerry
