My internet connection has fouled up in some mysterious manner and I am plunging into probable fixes. Good fortune struck, however, and I got to read the December newsletter before the machine gave up on me. Are you getting better or what? I really enjoyed this issue and wanted to offer my congratulations on all of your efforts.

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.

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!

(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!)
