John had been ill the week before Christmas. <br><br>This leaves many of us with a huge void as he loved pattern, had been heavily active in the NSRCA for so many years (NSRCA member #632), was so involved in helping others with plane setup, understanding maneuvers, rules, and most especially- motivation to keep trying in the face if difficulty. John and I spent hours and hours of time together at the field over the last 5 years. He coached me thru my first contest, my first contest away from home, and took me to my first Nats. He was always at the field, and if I wasn’t, he was calling to find out when or why not. <br><br>Beyond pattern, and most importantly, John was a great and loyal friend to so many of us. Rest in peace John, we’re going to miss you buddy. <br>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<br>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</body></html>
