All one has to be is a person that you think deserves it because of their help to others.

Leo,
I just hope I am still standing when I reach your age, much less turning in a circle chasing a plane.
You are truly an inspiration to me.

Marvin,

Yea, but you're a lot taller than Leo.   LL~

I have a great picture from the Northwest Regionals a couple of years ago with Leo, Chris Cox, Joe Dill and Pat Johnston standing together with Pete Peterson standing behind them. For those of you that knows all these guys, you'll get the joke.

ya well everone almost is taller and younger than me. But I have more fun. Those overhead 8's keep getting harder every year. I wonder if there is a flex medicine for that? You know not every one terns Expert at the age of 74. Anyway I realy enjoy flyin with these guys in this newer era of stunt. I take as much s---. as I used to and I think they are better at it than we were except they now add on the old stuff like did you invent dirt or where you there when they invented the wheel. Or what kind of cave did you live in. Onother one is are you sure you did 3 outside loops. Don McClave was junging one day and after my pattern he asked me Leo how many inside loops are there in the pattern, OOPS.
