procedure last winter and did some research.<BR>The form is obtained from the
AMA and is filled out in duplicate.<BR>The requester states his reason for
asking to move back.<BR>He then has a CD and his AMA district contest board
member sign it.<BR>You can find the contest board member list in the back of
every other month's Model Aviation or on the AMA website.<BR>After that it
goes to your AMA district VP who forwards both forms on to Muncie after he
signs them.<BR>AMA Muncie does not approve, disapprove, grant or deny these
request. They only place one copy on file<BR>and return the other copy
to the requester.<BR>Done.<BR>As a CD I would sign anyone's request that was
sincere for whatever the reason.<BR>I bet the contest board member would be
the same.<BR>The AMA DVP will sign based on the previous
recommendations.<BR>JLK<BR><BR><BR></SPAN></FONT></P>
