Superb Sierra Simpson Swansong
==============================
Just got back from probably the best Sierra Cup ever. Great weather,
great flying and great banquet. From memory the results are below.
Roger Simpson say this is the last he will organize. The new team from
the Sierra Eagles, including World Champ Jerry Fitch and ex-SCAT plan
master Craig Cusick will have a tough job turning on a show like this year's.

While the rest of the FAI modeling world is recovering from an endless
summer of continuous contest I am sitting here staring out the window at
six inches of snow. Now in my hand is one of the innn-famous Bradly
T-10 electronic DT timers, you know, the ones that always worked; every
time: set for three minute -DT, set for 3 seconds -DT, battery dead -DT,
tow line fly away -DT, tow line break -DT, set tow hook too close to
switch-oops -not the timers fault. So where am I going with this?
Nowhere really except maybe to give a nod of appreciation to Mr. B down
in sunny Florida and decide whether to install an electronic bunt system
or just screw in the T-10 and go flying. So this must really be about
wanting to either play with technology or fly towline gliders.
Don't get me wrong I believe/have faith in technology, I love how it has
both stiffened and electrified the structure of our aero-sport.
Detractors decry nay nay, there is no access for all in your Technology.
Sure there is, there is room for the devout, those that worship every
weekend, pray every night, they come singly, in twos, and in family
full. FAI is not some exclusive country club. All you have to do is
your best and in doing so will find yourself at the tip-techno-top.
Still don't believe? Ask Ben C. he can show you the light; he's
probably still glowing!
Ok, ok, I hear you, and you are right; I should just get off this
computer and get to it. I should have the T-10 installed before the
end of the day and get a couple practice flights in before dark.
Thanx for listening.

Congratulations to George, the SCAT club, and the numerous volunteers,
We just wanted to let you know what a great World Championship contest
you all put together last week. You even saw to it that the weather was
fantastic!!
But really - you all are to be commended for the total planning and
seeing that everything was covered and carried out. You guys (and
wives) are going to be a hard act to follow.
Thank you for a wonderful week.
Sincerely,
John and Sally Clapp

Having returned from Lost Hills, and slept off the jet lag I want to thank
all of the people who put in work into these two events. You all did a great
job!
Furthermore, you all made us feel welcome and friends, wether we had met
before or not.
I will not mention any names, being afraid that I might forget one.
Should any of you need help in our area, I will certainly do my best to
return the help and friendship you provided.
Thanks again

Hello-
I am searching for information regarding a Carl Hedley, ex-USAF, whom I
believe to be my half-brother. I saw in the article attached at the bottom
reference to a person by that name. I was wondering if you had an e-mail (or
actual) address for that person. I know it's a long-shot but I thought I'd
try.
Thank you,
Bruce Hedley
