<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>My thoughts and opinion. First of all, the Nats is being
treated as if it is just a local, fly for fun, whatever event. The Nats
is a national event where the best in the US and those from any other country
competes for the National title. This is the biggest competition in the
United States. It is also the best competitive pattern event the US,
possibly in the world. There are a core group of individuals that make
all that possible. The event has evolved, grown and matured over the
course of many years. It works very well. I would be very cautious
about doing any major upheaval to that event.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Very importantly also, the world championships is the the FAI
worlds premiere event in pattern. It deserves its sole identity and
space. I strongly recommend it has its own time and commitment. It is
2 years away. Now is the time to get the core group together to put an
event together we can all be proud of. People that travel from all over
the world to come here to compete deserve our very best uncompromised effort.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>It is very important we decide our philosophy in this
issue. Are we doing this to please the casual flyer or the dedicated
competitor? Is it a curiosity or a serious commitment to provide the very
best arena to find the best flyer in the nation and the world?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

Championship the best in the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

dedicated to making the world championship a truly world class event. Build
a team for it. Make it happen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

practice fields are not at a premium. I still say the WC's should be held in
September.<o:p></o:p></p>
