Looking for Kieth

[Robert Zambelli]

At Brodak's, I met Kieth (goozgog?) from Toronto but for the life of me I cannot recall his last name.
Someone please forward this to him or send me his e-mail address.
Kieth, I need to talk to you about including your handle/reel in my Z-Tech article.

Keith Morgan. Super guy! Yes, you can get his e-mail address on one of the forums using that nick. (Goozgog is the name of his boat)

Last sighted at The Beanfield in Dresden,,,,,

Your nomenclature is correct.

[Howard Rush]

I before E, except after C.

[Robert Zambelli]

Yep, Howard - you're right! 

Type first, think later - I seem to be doing a lot of that lately! 

Anyhow, thanks, Guys - I found his address and fired off an e-mail.

I before E, except after C.

The JCT takes spelling to new heights! A weighty subject.

I read somewhere, just yesterday, that the spelling mavens have decided to drop the 'i before e except after c" rule because there are so many exceptions.  Is nothing sacred?

Our grade school taught:

"When it rhymes with "bee";

It's I before E,

Except after "C"

This guidleline gets rid of most of the exceptions, like "height", "weight", "neighbor". Offhand, I can't think of an example where the modified "rhyme with bee" rule fails, but I'm sure I remember it not working.
     The negative of the "bee" mod fails with "friend", for example, but a positive failure example?

Hello Bob!
              What ever the spelling rules
might be, I doubt if it would apply to
an ancient Irish/Gaelic name like "Keith".
It means "wind" but I don't know where
the wind is supposed to be coming from.(?!)

   The real problem with my name is that
it sounds like a cough. When someone is
"hawking up a loogie" it sounds to me
like "Ke...Kei..KEITH! KEITTTHHHHHH!

   Bob, feel free to include my line reels
in anything you might wish to write.
   Please be certain to mention that
since the handle rides on the reel, that
the lines are rolled up starting at the
handle and walking toward the plane.
Flyers accustomed to the little SIG red
plastic reels always comment on this.

   When I was a kid there wasn't any
controline organization in our (then)
farming community. We would simply
go to the school yard or ball diamond
and fly until someone complained or the
cops showed up.  I flew with a A-J
U-reely. This was important since you
could roll up the lines and be on your bike
before the patrol car stopped.
   When I got back into controline,
The U-reely was out of fashion, so I
invented these reels just incase I had to
run from an irate Contest Director.

So Bob, I got the Scared Kitten in the air
at the Bean Field this past weekend.
The McCoy ran OK when I used Paul
Smith's starter on it. It flew just fine,
looped fine and flew inverted fine,
but the outside turn from inverted to
upright was scarry! It comes right into
the circle every time!
I managed to save it, but.... Whew!

Cheers! - Keith Morgan
