<DIV> We should focus on the younger groups joining into pattern. We do need to focus on that factor. </DIV>

<DIV> However I have noticed many more 14 and 16 year olds in pattern in the last few years. I think pattern is on an improved track with so many training seminars held at AMA clubs and the pattern membership with several JR pilots on board.</DIV>
<DIV>The discipline of pattern in general is something that will only improve any pilot in this hobby.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Pattern has made much progress and Eric I do believe your term in office has helped the sport in many ways.Changes that will help pattern move forward.</DIV>
