Hi All:
I received this message from Joe Clawson. Apparently Bob Junk's
house burned down and they had no insurance. I am going to send him a
check to help out, and I hope you do the same. His address is below and
it will be forwarded to their new temporary location. The town should be
spelled Cantonment.
[I also recieved this message from other sources. ]

Hi Roger.
Would you please include this in the next issue of SEN:
My friend Ray Monks is looking for a Cyclon 06 for F1J. Has anyone out there
got a (preferably) new engine surplus to requirements? A very good-condition
used engine might be considered.
Thanks.
Graham Bryant.

The Skyscrapers at 70
=====================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
On April 1, 2006, the Skyscrapers celebrated their 70th birthday, But first,
back to the beginning. In 1936, the Sky-Scrapers was founded in Brooklyn,
New York.
In 1961, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, a group of at least
eight Skyscrapers gathered in Bill Dunwoody=B9s shop to build a full-size
replica of Sal Taibi's Powerhouse. Strip wood was ripped out of a 2 by 4, by
the way, and the basic job was done over a single weekend. The model was
suitably decorated with aluminum foil cutouts (it was the silver
anniversary, after all) and appropriate tissue lettering was applied, a
shown on page 1 of the club=B9s website (broooklynskyscrapers.org). Club
members autographed the stabilizer and a piece of yellow silkspan was
mailed to Sal for his autograph, which was doped to the stab.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, the Skyscrapers invented the
F1J small power event, pushed the USA delegation to the annual CIAM meeting
(the FAI's aeromodeling branch) to sponsor it - it wasn't a very hard push,
by the way. The FFTC (Free Flight Technical Commitee) saw fit to slightly
modify the proposed rules and the CIAM voted to accept the new class and it
is now a world-wide event. Also, of course, it spurred the development of
new 1/2A and .061 engines world-wide.
Which brings us to this celebration of our 70th anniversary.
First event of the celebratory year was the Skyscrapers Reunion on April 1 -
a gala gathering in White Plains, NY, attended by 98 Skyscrapers and their
friends, ranging in age from toddlers (Barron offspring) to several
octogenarians (three of whom were charter members of the club). Attendees
came from as far as Florida, Texas and California.
A number of models were on display throughout the affair,
including a miniature Shulman Skyscraper powered by a Cox .020 (the club was
named after the original in 1936) and four SpitBalls (the Early Nostalgia
1/2 A for which one-design events will be held at three major Skyscraper
meets in 2006). Also running throughout the gathering was a movie of
Skyscraper footage put together by Al Abriss from ancient 8-mm film and
subsequent films and videotapes.
Door prizes galore were handed out to everyone: Stopwatches for
the flyers, wristwatches for the ladies, and two NFFS memberships (donated
by Walt Rozelle, editor of the NFFS Digest). The memberships were awarded to
Dennis Phelan and junior flyer Marian Whitney.
Following an excellent repast, it was time for speeches and
awards with skyscraper president Dave Acton acting as master of ceremonies.
He was also recipient of the first award given: The AMA President's Award,
which was presented to the Skyscrapers by District II vice president Dave
Mathewson standing in for Dave Brown, who could not attend.
The microphone then went to awards chairman Jean Pailet, who
presented the club's highest award, the Modeler of the Year trophy, jointly
to Sal Taibi and Leon Shulman (both present) along with life memberships in
the Skyscrapers. The Youth Achievement Award went to 11-year-old Brian
Pacelli. Brian will be flying F1P on the US Team going to Europe this summer
for the Junior World Championships.
Bob Hatschek next took the floor to tell the tale of the
creation of the Skyscrapers Royal Order of the Purple Shaft. He concluded by
giving a miniature of this trophy to Bill Dunwoody, for whom it was created
in 1957. Dunwoody then presented the award to Jim Bocckinfuso for disasters
overcoming him in 2005.
The Skyscapers will continue to celebrate throughout their 70th
year with three major competitions at Bryton Barron Memorial Field in
Wawayanda, NY: the Skyscrapers International Challenge (May 27-28); the
Skyscrapers 70th Anniversary Annual (July 1-2); and the Skyscrapers Fall
Contest (Oct. 21-22). These meets will all feature a special one-design
event for Skyscraper Bob Hatschek's 1951 SpitBall 1/2A (see Frank Zaic's
1951-52 Model Aeronautic Yearbook, page 119 and NFFS Digest, Mar. 2006, page
9). The events will be run according to NFFS Nostalgia rules and it is hoped
that at least one of them will be ROW.
Other meets scheduled for Barron Field in 2006 will be the
Eastern US FF Championships (June 10-11) relocated because of
unavailability of its usual Maryland site and the Wilbur & Orville Contest
(August date TBA).
As a postscript to my the above email about the Skyscrapers 70th Anniversary
Reunion. Pictures of the gala affair can be viewed on the club's website
