[NSRCA-discussion] Prelims

[Ronald Van Putte]

Amen.  We tend to concentrate on who finished on top and not much more.  Joseph Szczur did great and made us and, I'm sure, his parents proud of him.  

I remember a Nats at Lake Charles back in the early 1980s, where a young kid from Argentina showed up and asked permission to put on a flying demonstration during a break in flying.  We were amazed at his talent and virtuosity.  His name was Quique Somenzini.  

I hope we've got another Quique here in the U.S.
