The real "Papa Pattern" is Charlie Reed.  Charlie is about 77 years old 
and still competes.  I started flying Pattern in 1967 and that's a while 
ago, but Charlie is about 10 years older than me.  BTW, I just 'know' 
that Jerry Budd will pop in here with a whippersnapper comment about 
now.  He also knows that if he's too outrageous I will challenge him to 
a 10K race.
