I think a big thanks is due to Dave Corven for
starting up the whole 2007 team selection process. Not
much organizing was happening when it should have been, specifically, when
, where and who was running the event! I think Dave actually
did the AMA communications and secured the sanction papers. He did
not make it to the event because of recent health
issues. Get
better!!
Special guy note: Ive been in soaring my whole life. The Soaring we love to do competition wise, takes very non-selfish people to put on events. We were short handed a bit at the team select,,,, so the guys that came out had to work even harder and wear more hats than they thought they were going to. The pilots at this event all recognize your hard work and devotion toward soaring! Thanks from me!!! During the event we have our game faces on,,, its very difficult to thank you in timely fashion, so I hope this reaches you. Thanks ., Jack, Hutch,Robin, Marc, Joe, Dave Hauch, guys from the local soaring club, and the wives and or girl friends of the soaring pilots who chipped in to time and base call. Thanks to Joe Wurts who chose not to come, but helped Jack organize the
whole event thru many communications.
A big thanks to Mike Lachowski who has provided the FAI soaring community
with a great timer/sound system.
And if that is not enough, helps set it up at the field , and if that is not enough,,, trouble shoots during the event,,,, and if thats not enough,, covers the equipment with plastic several times when it rains. He's at these events to fly but has unselfishly contributed his efforts toward making the events better for everyone. Thanks Mike! Great USA team , Tom, Aron, Mike,, selected ! Youll do well in
2007
