Title: Memories
Post by: john e. holliday on July 20, 2011, 09:01:09 PM

Picture of a young lady I kind of watched grow up.  Don't remember the young man.  Anybody remember them.  This pic was in the 1988 AMA calender. H^^

John,

     The young man appears to be Greg Wojtecki of Chicago.  I believe he was flying in Junior
at the time with a Cipola .36.  Was the young lady Amy Olson?

     Best regards,

Gents,

      A couple of weeks back I got a telephone call from Greg Wojtecki!  He's 41 now and was helping
a friend's son find some control line equipment for a father-son project.  As it was about 15 years ago
that I talked to Greg, it's safe to say that I was quite surprised.

     Greg will probably be at our Frozen Finger combat contest this Sunday at Ned Brown Forest Preserve.

     I'm thinking that Greg was the only person from our area to win an official NATS combat contest, within the
past 25 years or so.

     Best regards,

     Richard Ferrell

Wow, that picture woke me up. Met Amy and her family back in the eighties during the Nats in Lake Charles flying combat. Good people and she was a very good flier. Richard
