Subject: T.O.C.<BR>

<BR>
By now most of you may have heard, but just in case. With Mr. Bill<BR>
Bennett's passing Mrs. Bennett has decided to not continue with the<BR>
Tournament of Champions.<BR>
<BR>
I am sure that any of us who were fortunate enough to have attended a T.O.C.<BR>
in the past as either a competitor and/or spectator are very thankful for<BR>
the experience.<BR>
<BR>
Mr. Bennett left a tremendous legacy to all of us in the form of giant scale<BR>
aerobatics.<BR>

It was a great run for a very long time, for the elite few, the best of the best. I felt humbled to have attended as a spectator, so incredible the flying skill. And always walked away inspired to perform to a higher level. I will miss this event tremendously. <BR>
<BR>
I never met Mr. Bennett, but he impressed me greatly (and does still), with his vision for our Sport. He may be gone from us forever, BUT his legacy will never be forgotten<BR>
<BR>
My condolences of his passing to his widow and his family.<BR>
