>We just returned from a great week in Muncie at the NATS, and felt a few thoughts regarding the experience would be in order. First, congratulations to all who participated, not just those who won the various events, you put forth a tremendous effort and you have my admiration. It was good to see so many familiar faces who attend this event and to meet some new ones as well. This was my sixth year of helping to officiate as line chief and this gives me a chance to witness the NATS from a different perspective, up close. It has also given me many fond memories. The final standings have already been posted, so I won't repeat that information, but I just want to thank everyone who competed, judged, and directed in this great activity we call<BR>

Jerry, his wife, Margo, and daughter Jenny (Newman) are a credit to the <BR>
hobby. For many years, they have given selflessly of their talent, time <BR>
and money to go to Muncie to help put on the Nats. I am humbly thankful <BR>
that there are people like them in R/C aerobatics.<BR>
