You may not have heard, but Dale, our landlord was in the hospital for hip replacement surgery. Evidently this is the second operation. He mentioned that the changes made at the flying field were OK with him. He expected to be out and about soon. We wish him a speedy recovery.

I want to give a special thanks to Joe and Randy for all the work they put into our flying field.  Their up-front work made planning the Spring Cleanup activities easy for the club.  They put a lot of work into the field as well.
