[NSRCA-discussion] Curare

[mjfrederick at cox.net]

My dad was going through his attic a few months back and actually found 
the 1977 and 1978 issues of MA that covered the pattern Nats. If I'm not 
mistaken, the 1977 F3A was held in Springfield as well, the week after 
the pattern Nats. The timing of it allowed the Nats and the world champs 
to be covered in the same issue if I remember. It was an excellent read 
to go through and see all those famous names and the cutting edge 
designs of the day.
