"Greetings
from Chapter 64"- Hello to all fellow members and spouses. Please check out our new website at
http://eaa64.org Bob McDaniel has
volunteered to maintain
this site. Now he needs our help. Please send photos of your planes and/or
projects
to Bob at dusterpilot@charter.net or mail to Bob McDainel Director, St.
Louis
Downtown Airport 1680 Sauget Industrial Parkway, Sauget, IL 62206-1449.
The
October minutes are as follows:
Secretary's
Report: Waived due to newsletter
mailing
Treasurer's Report: As of 10/4/04 we have a balance of $13,977.04.
Correspondence: Mike brought an article from AOPA magazine touting the terrific job employees of Fostaire Helicopters did when confronted with a liberal media station, NBC's attempt to make general aviation look bad. If you didn't read the story, 2 men posing as shifty characters attempted to rent a helicopter while carrying suspicious contraband in their luggage. Authorities were called and this fiasco was averted.
Old Business: Curt asked Mike to call Andre Ledee to go take a look at the New Athens roof. Mike did so and Andre found a hole in the roof near the church building. We should have an estimate from Andre at the November meeting to further fix this problem.
New Business: Bob McDaniel said he helped secure a donation from Midcoast Aviation of an aircraft tug. This tug has a blown engine and is in need of some restoring but should be worth 1000-2500 depending on how much work we want to do on it. Norm Walters Jr. from Ozark Air has graciously allowed us to keep it in Hangar One where we can work on it at our leisure. We need to set a work date at the November meeting and stick to it so we are not overstaying our welcome in Hangar One.
It was decided that the Holiday Party will be the 3rd Saturday in January. More on this later.
