[NSRCA-discussion] Toledo opinion

[Ryan Smith]

Ordinarily I don’t get wrapped around the axle on the latest plague on humanity, but the potency of COVID-19 has piqued my interest. 

Unfortunately, I can’t do much to avert travel since that’s my job, but I’m more cautious than usual to not bring any funk home to my six month-old. 

My schedule is not going to allow Toldeo this year, and the only way I’ll make it out is if the company sends me during the show on a fluke. 

I hope all is well, Mikey. I’m looking forward to flying R/C again soon.
