<DIV>Jarvis, thanks for the ultra quick update on the Las Vegas contest. I
will get a quick note out on the Hollister contest this evening. We had
fewer "mishaps" but got plenty of crosswind in your face practice for 2
days........ thanks again Jarvis.</DIV>

the Shadow being totaled an Chip's Genesis hovering around the Las Vegas field
like a hawk, then crabing in for a landing</DIV>
