The President's Message

By Alan Resnick

  The Spring Social was a wonderful time. The weather could not have been better. The turn out was great!
Our SPECIAL THANKS to Marlene, Treat, Fred, Rex, Don and all who helped get the field and club house ready and help organize and carry out the events. The whole field was in particularly good shape.
With the tent up and the grill going the planes came in from Lee Field up north to South Lakeland on the other end. 
We Had Vernon Peckham on the microphone and all the events went smoothly. First the BOMB DROP, then the SPOT LANDING, followed by the WIFFLE BALL CATCH and finally the DEAD STICK LANDING.
A very skilled Steve Bensinger from South Lakeland took top honors and Chaz Almond was a very close second.
A "VERY WELL DONE" to all the pilots!!
After the flying was finished and we had a little rest. Bob Touchette had arranged for some more feeding on pork roast and ALL the fixings. Another memorable Gator feeding event. Again, Thanks to all who brought more food for the evening feed!
