Bob Martin was welcomed as our newest member. He has a long

looking forward to seeing him out at the field.

the group.

Maintenance at the field is in pretty good shape. Tom Zwack’s
secret week killer recipe seems to have done the trick. Thanks again to Tom for
all the work on the chemicals, sprayer, and the endless application over such a
large area. When there is some moisture, we will roll the runway and
stripe.

process of reading the five volumes of instructions.
