Wrong, Bob. Second. As much as we wish it were more.

1990 in France, almost a quarter century later in 2014.

I had the pleasure of being the team manager on both occasions.

Congratulations to Carl Dodge. In 60 or 61 I fondly remember seeing Al Stegens hand launch one of Carl's "A" jobs at the old dirt circles near Cleveland Hopkins airport. I had never seen a model airplane go so fast. Carl just keeps getting better and faster. Job well done Carl.
