Page 1 Dear Club Members: Jim couldn’t get me his message from the President to me before this acclaimed and internationally respected rag went to press—So, I thought that you would all enjoy this internet message forwarded to me by Paul….So, enjoy. And we’ll catch up with Jim later. Yes, Jon and Dan did meet for the first time at the time of this photo, and of course, they “hit it Off” right away… But seriously, at our last meeting, this incident And several other crashes touched off a very Lively and animated discussion of flight And spectator safety at the field. Several years Ago, a spectator was killed at the DC/RC field. We all felt at the meeting that this is a very Serious conversation that needs to continue... Jon Pentzer Meets Dan Reardon…!
