<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div style="RIGHT: auto"> Thanks to all for making the St Louis/ St Charles contest this weekend a total success. We had perfect weather and a great turnout of 30 fliers.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-0><SPAN id=misspell-0>Kudo's</SPAN></SPAN> to Bill <SPAN id=misspell-1><SPAN id=misspell-1>Ahrens</SPAN></SPAN>, Ed White, Bill <SPAN id=misspell-2><SPAN id=misspell-2>Soshman</SPAN></SPAN> and all the support people in their club. It was magnificent.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> Special to the contest was the return of Chris <SPAN id=misspell-3><SPAN id=misspell-3>Lakin</SPAN></SPAN> after a 10 year layoff. He still has skills and will be tough after he knocks off the remaining rust.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> Its always a special event because for the most part its the only event that joins the northern D5 fliers with the southern guys. Together we have a <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-4><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-4><SPAN>formidable</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> District. Its just too bad that we are <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-5><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-5><SPAN>separated</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> by such distance. </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> I had a particularly good time with our Chicago kid protege Brandon <SPAN id=misspell-6><SPAN id=misspell-6>Sobeliewski</SPAN></SPAN>. He really brought his A game and impressed many a flier. He had guys wondering why they ever got away from fast <SPAN id=misspell-7><SPAN id=misspell-7>YS</SPAN></SPAN> Temptations too. <SPAN id=misspell-8><SPAN id=misspell-8>Zoomm</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN id=misspell-9><SPAN id=misspell-9>zooommmmmm</SPAN></SPAN>!!!! It amazes me how fast a 12 year old kid can learn this sport when he has all the tools and support<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR> needed to succeed. Thanks <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-10><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-10><SPAN>again</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> Phantom Fliers, Mike Mueller</div></div></body></html>
