size=2>How's Bill doing these days? I haven't seen or heard from him for a
while. I know that he is still on medication. He used to win in the lod
Sportsman all the time. Tom Mitchell and I flew against him many times.
When he pointed out, however, he couldn't move up. He was just not able with
his condition. By the way, we have 3 pattern contests a year in Michigan now.
Not bad growth from a few years ago. Would love to see you at the Milan
contest.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

FAMILY="SCRIPT">Here is a good example of the untapped resource we have here
in Pattern.<BR><BR>My local club in St. Joseph, Michigan has a quality
senior member named Bill Borland. This guy can really fly. He
gets out there several times a week, flies his Runaround thru the paces
smoothly and quite capably. He's always willing to help the beginners,
and is involved in many club activities. I've asked him several times
why he doesn't still compete in pattern or maybe try IMAC. His
comments are always accompanied by a warm smile remembering all the good
times he had competing in the past, but then he resigns himself to the
current reality of "I don't have the eyes or the reflexes to beat the kids
anymore, they're really really good". <BR><BR>These senior guys are
the sport's best ambassadors, always the first to volunteer, and I'd love to
see something happen to allow them to compete against their peers for the
fun of the win.<BR><BR>Thanks for listening fellas<BR>Rick</FONT>
