<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Jim..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks much for the invite. Hamburg contest is hour drive for us. The Vernon contest would be 5 hour drive to only get a few minutes to visit while the contest is going on. I thought? I had heard my rig wouldn't be allowed at site, which we currently don't have on the road anyway. Maybe next year at Hamburg if they plan on having it again. Surprised to see it was also reduced to a one day event. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Del, our Pattern in Paradise is just down the NYS Thruway from you. It might even be closer than the Hamburg contest we had at the beginning of June. Come for one day or come for two days. You are always welcome. We haven't seen you at a contest in several years. It would be nice to see you again. I can even renew your NSRCA membership at the contest! I'll even buy your lunch both days.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi George..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> When/if I can get back to competing that is a long way to go for a one day event knowing how fickle the weather in the N.E. can be. I have never attended a 1 day event in all my years of competing. If they were close by that might make it viable.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For all the guys in D1 that missed the Hadley contest on Saturday I want to express my disappointment at the absence of your presence at what was a terrific time.Ed Alt was the only guy that showed up from the N.J. contingent and was a great help as judge, caller, and certainly the premiere performer of the day with really notable performances from Scott Smith with his new electric Patriot with the Hacker 60 up front. I felt that everyone flew well and would have loved to have had more representation in each class. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Due to the East facing flightline we didn't get started as early as I would have liked, but that was probably a blessing in disguise as we probably would have had a 10 round contest.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As it was, the contest was a very laid-back affair with wonderful temperatures and partly sunny skies, a little breezy in the P.M., but handled easily by everyone in attendance. Lots of lazy kibitzing under the easy-ups all day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The field was freshly mowed and well prepped for even the lowest of prop clearances ( Walter Erickson had about 3/4"). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One of the enticing features of this event were the high dollar prizes awarded the winners. Jim Quinn was overheard celebrating his $6K award for his high placement in Master's.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In spite of my personal ban ( apparently the word had not gotten out) I was allowed to judge 5 rounds in all classes which was very refreshing after all these years. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The kindness extended to me was very much appreciated as they allowed me to fly a class that I was totally unqualified for in spite of the fact that I came in dead last (in a field of one).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Great food was in abundance both lunch and dinner and it was gratus. Nobody went home hungry. John Tarpinian(C.D.) did an admirable job of putting together a first rate event and even had a hat-draw raffle at the end where everyone went home with something of value (that's in addition to those high dollar placement awards).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In attendance was the "New Kid" in D1 competition, David Lampron, who took first in Sportsman and at 13 years of age is going to be one to watch in the next couple of years. David has a younger brother, Dean, who I predict will follow in his brother's footsteps. These 2 kids are the nicest young guys, respectful and polite to a fault. David served as a maneuver caller for the judges on many rounds and a little sister, Kelly worked on the scoring program ( not as a runner, but the real thing), she must have been about 9 or 10.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The field is a little tight on one end and will make you pay attention on your landings, but the overall surroundings are a very pleasant farmland paradise. For the guys that passed this one up this year, you really missed a great time.Be sure and put a big star beside this one on next year's calendar.You'll be glad you did.</FONT></DIV>
