This contest is on my 'Bucket List'. And after have a cancerous kidney removed last Feburary I think that I had better start checking off more items on that list. I hope to visit with the Marietta flyers next year.

Big thanks to Tom Dixon and the Cobb guys for a great contest.  I wouldn't have given a chance of it coming off given the weather forecasts, but as Ty said they were completely wrong and the heavy thunderstorms never showed up.

Congrats to John Simpson for winning the John Brock Perpetual Trophy for his win in Nostalgia, and congrats to William Davis for his debut contest in Pampa Expert!

Has plans made to attend but a sudden, unexpected, hospital stay cancelled that..........   my thanks to Steve Fitton for checking on me, and congrats on a second in Expert!  Maybe I will be able to make at least one meet sometime in 2011.

Hi Paul,

That IS something I would like to do!  I haven't seen Jeff in a while.......  A lot will depend on when they reschedule my shoulder surgery now.  I have been "left hanging" about that, maybe I will find out more this week.  The trip is a bit long for my liking as far as traveling alone anymore, but it is an event i would like to take in.

Sorry it took so long to post these shots of the event, too many hours at work. I did attend this event and it was my very first one, and I must say, I my wife and I had a great time. I did come away with a great kinship. Ty was a hoot, you gotta love that guy. Now I will try and post some pictures. Thank You all for making me feel welcome. Ed
