to the BPAN newsletter after December this year due to the factthat after 10 years Grant MacLaren is hanging up his cleats and willbe doing the web page in the future, but not the newsletter. There is a real need for the newsletter to continue though for thosewho do not have computer or net access....which sounds like alot offolks from what I'm told. (even those of us on computers LOVE getting thenewsletter, eh ??) Grant will forward all his mailing lists, resources to whoever seriouslypicks up the torch. The new editor DOES NOT have to produce anythingas professional as we have seen from Grant though. DON' T let thisscare you off. The previous newsletter was typed, copied, and mailed.It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Think about it........and Thanks forreading !Mike C.

Did not know Grant was hanging up his typing keys.Newsletters are sometimes fun to do when you have stuff to put in them, I did one for a club I started for 3 years and mailed out to 47 people. I have never seen Grants Newsletter but I understand it was good. Out of the 47 mpeople we had in the club I only had one person who said she could do better, Every chance she got. So I out of courtesy turned it over to her. She did it for 6 months and then quit.Thanks Grant 10 years is a long time to do anything.GordonRW1 UL PietMohawk MK IVReal Piet someday.________________________________________________________________________________

>Mike C. I nominate you, heck I'd even send you a years worth of flying>stories. I'm sure you've thought of this however as I have. I have faith>in this community, and hope that someone will pick up where Grant left off.>Steve ! Thanks !! I nominate you too !! Actually I have absolutely nodesire to take up that responsibility at all. If I were retired I'dprobably thinkabout it. PS- for those who couldn't make it to Osh or Brodhead, this STeve E guy andDuane W. along with everyone else were just a sheer joy to meet and talk with.It is so cool to put a face and handshake next to an e-mail name andprovider !!PSS- On the way to OSH from Hartford, Steve E. pulled up with his green AirCamper about 75 feet off my right wing and just hung there like he was ona string........I looked again, again.....just couldn't believe the planethat I'd seenon the web, in the newsletter, etc. was right there all the way from Utahnext tome at 3,500 feet over Fon Du Lac airport. It was like a dream. I lookedahead andspecks of Piets and GN-1's dotted the skies....looked behind and saw a few morethere. Whew, how fun !!!
