[NSRCA-discussion] FW: [AMA Dist V] DV VP Status

[Derek Koopowitz]

We have a new pattern pilot that is running for District X VP - he lost by
34 votes last year to the incumbent who has since passed away.  For those of
you in AMA District X - his name is Lawrence Tougas and is a great guy!
 Please support him in his endeavor to be the District X VP.  He'll do a
great job - much better than the one being done by the "appointed"
successor.
