A Call for Volunteers

      As we all know, the 2015 NFFS Symposium is out and for sale.  Many thanks go to H. G. Frautschy who served as editor and produced another is a long series of excellent publications.

      Planning is now underway for the 2016 edition.  Sympo production is never a solitary effort, and many people are involved at all stages of production. But, it all starts with the editorship.  The editor has the ultimate responsibility for the sympo, and with only a very few exceptions, all have served well. Upon reflection, it’s been a list of Free Flight luminaries and many lesser known.  All with tell you it wasn’t an easy task, requiring much time and effort, but well worth the effort, providing a serious learning experience and professional satisfaction.

       The NFFS Board of Director is now requesting volunteers for the 2016 editorship.  We would like anyone who has considered the editorship to contact David Mills (This email address is being protected from spambots.
