Mr. Larry BurkeChair EmeritusLight Aircraft Manufacturers Association (LAMA)vial EMAIL June 22, 2009Dear Larry:I have the honor and privilege to nominate Mr. William Wynne, of Orange Park, Florida, to receive this year's LAMA Award for Outstanding Individual.Mr. Wynne exemplifies and promotes an, in the twenty-first century, almost lost craft in the field of Light Aviation: namely, the conversion of powerplant technology from almost half a century ago to the needs of homebuilt light aircraft builders today.I have known William for at least five years. The last time we had a chance to "compare notes" was nearly three weeks ago when I attended one of William's "Corvair Colleges" in Lowell, Massachusetts.William's Corvair College is usually hosted and supported by local light airplane builders, like me, located in various regions of our country who invite William to come and share his more than twenty years of Corvair engine conversion-to-airwork experience. William, to my knowledge, has never accepted a gratuity or stipend for this work; indeed, I sense William's remuneration is gained from the satisfaction of seeing his years of research and testing of the Corvair engine for air come to fruition in the completion of airworthy engines by his students.Absolutely, William Wynne is an Educator in the best sense of the word. And I think, even more importantly, William Wynne has and continues to do great service to we least advantaged of all aviators: those of little money but great enthusiasm and mechanical ability. William, all by himself, has helped to bridge 20th century engine technology toward the needs of 21st century airplane builders. Mr. Wynne represents, in fact, the spirit of aviation, of the I-can-do-it-movement- that was so stunningly expressed by Orville and Wilbur Wright over a century ago.I believe that the Committee would be severely remiss in not awarding Mr. William Wynne this year's LAMA Award for Outstanding Individual.Therefore I heartily, and highly, recommend him for this award.Please feel free to contact me with any question/comment.Truly yours,Alan S.
