[NSRCA-discussion] Andersonville GA Contest, June 4-5

[Doug Harvel]

Rob thank you so much for your distress call.  I have been one of the one's
pleading for better attendance in D3 and thank you so much for your efforts.
I must also admit that I am one that has missed many events lately, and had
even planned on Baton Rouge in D6 but health once again got in the way.
My wife and I plan on arriving at Hodges along with our mean dog on Monday
Memorial Day for a week at one of the most beautiful rest areas and just
happens to be a great flying field with a very cordial host in Mr Mac
Hodges.
My wife says we coming if we both have to charter an ambulance to get
there.  Health problems may once again prevent me from flying but by doggie
good Lord willing and the creek doesn't rise we gonna be there.......Love
all
you guys and cant wait to see everyone at Hodges...Only made two contest
in past two years, and may have to change Dr's to get there this year but
gonna
bust a rear trying........Doug Harvel...aka....BOPOD
