[NSRCA-discussion] What the NSRCA does (and could do) for me

[Mike Hester]

Well in the interest of "non denial", what would you suggest? We don't need 
to know what the problems are (again), we want solutions. Got any?

By the way, if you haven't flown pattern in 3 years........how would you 
even know? I dunno, the last few contests I went to had numbers in the 30s, 
people from all over the place, so if I'm in denial, I'm hallucinating too. 
I keep seeing people flying pattern and actually ENJOYING IT!!!!! Somebody 
get me a doctor, I'm seeing people having fun and competing!!! AHHHHH my 
eyes!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry =)

-Mike
