I sort of miss the printed copy but know I am saving the Chapter more than $7.00 per year. The beautiful color on the electronic version makes up for the hard copy loss. We now have 180 members and if you take that times $7.00 that is around $1,260.00 in postage, to say nothing of the printing cost. If Ed Seurer didn’t do his thing every month we would be spending several thousand on newsletters. I belong to another group that has no hard copy newsletter---it’s all done over the internet. The Southwest Regional Fly-in also does all it’s correspondence over the internet. I would encourage as many of our members as have computers to consider letting it be known that they no longer desire a printed copy. The money we thus save could go into the building fund. I know you spend a lot (underline lot) of hours to create the email version and I really appreciate all your work. Keep it up. We hope to see you living in this area in the near future. Don Staats Local Pilot's Story Published by GA News I got an “extra” Christmas present this year when I learned that my “Low and Slow” article about flying in Brad Marcum’s 1946 Aeronca Champ had landed in the Christmas issue of General Aviation News. I checked my mailbox this morning and was elated to see that my issue had arrived!! The attached file is a poor quality scan and since this newspaper is larger 8.5 x 11, I couldn’t fit everything in one image but this gives you the “gist” of what this article was about. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this one since I had to find a way to capture the absolute fun I had on this flight with Brad. Thanks Brad!! Have a VERY Merry Christmas and God Bless! ------------------------------------------------------- Justin Moore <mailto:jus@outdoorphoto.com> Moore Photography & Design Photographic Prints • Stock Photography • Web Design (Editor’s note: After reading your story, it became apparent why
it got published by GA News, it was extremely well written and entertaining.
Way to go Justin!) |
