THE PREZ SEZ
Hi
everyone
A sad
start to this newsletter, if you don't know by now Tom Fenn was admitted
to Tucson UMC hospital over the weekend. He had surgery to remove a clot
in his leg and is still in ICU. So please keep Tom and his family in
your thoughts and prayers. I'll pass on any new information as I get it.
After
all the planning the open house was a great success. Perfect weather and
a pretty good crowd from what I saw.
Thanks
to all for coming out and supporting this event. We had a great display
of aircraft on the ground and in the air.
Our
three trainers, Eric Fisher, Steve Mason and Steve Pursell gave a total
of fifteen flights to the public and I understand one youngster ( 9
years old ) has signed up for the intro pilot program. Great job guys.
My grandson Josh was the youngest new pilot at 6 years old. Speaking of
Josh if you saw the herald article he was one of the kids in the photo
with his head cut off, I don't know why they published a photo that
looks like an amateur took it. Apart from that I think we once again got
great coverage there's even a video on the herald web site. If you
didn't get to meet the Mayor he was very interested in the club and knew
of the whole runway history. Seemed like a nice guy to me he's also an
ex B29 pilot, wish I'd known that before we presented him with a B17
model. Thanks again to everyone for a great job.
If you
have any photos of the event please forward them to our webmaster.
Next
Item on the agenda is the Fathers day funfly which is being held
SATURDAY June 14th. Lets all get out there and have some fun. Steve
Pursell is providing the food this year and for a change we'll be having
a pancake breakfast so get there early and hungry.
Next
meeting is Thursday June 5th so see you all there.
