Title: Big Art Turns 90
Post by: Dennis Adamisin on April 30, 2017, 08:13:01 AM
Posting this for friends of Big Art.  Last night we had his 90th Birthday party - we actually managed to make it a surprise.  Lots of family & friends, but here's just a couple with kids, grandkids & great-grandkids...

He's moving kinda slow but still feisty as ever.  He enjoys hearing from folks - if you have a minute drop him a line.  He has a new email addy:

THANKS!

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG ART!  One of my most cherished moments in the hobby was meeting you and the wife on my first trip to VSC way back in 1992 I think it was, might have been earlier. I hope you continue on in good health for many more!
    Best Regards!

Big Art was one of the fairest judges I ever was up against.  After my flights, he would take the time to critique my model and offer suggestions to improve my pattern.  He was a true sportsman and a great representative of the hobby.  The whole family is top notch people.  I always enjoyed watching Dennis fly his Magister. 

Happy Birthday Art!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of the very nicest and greatest men I have ever known!  It was such a pleasure when I saw Betty the last time at Huntersville.  Our conversations over those couple of days were delightful!  I cannot even remember the year it was when I first met you at the Nats, but I STILL have, and wear the hat pin!!!!!!!

May you have many healthy more to share with your totally awesome family!!

BLESSINGS!

Happy Birthday to Big Art. Met him at Brodaks last year and was very nice to a newbie like myself.
