- I just received a flyer for "The Eight National Sailplane Symposium".
-
- Just to possibly spark some interest here is my best attempt to re-type
- the flyer. I already made my motel reservations and planned a side trip
- to the Oshkosh EAA museum and also to the new "Mall of America" in Minneapolis.
- You guys really gotta learn how to get your wife interested in your hobby.

- OK - here goes...

- For those who come early, the EAA trip will start form the Ramada at noon on Friday
- followed by the usual Early Bird get together at the Ramada on Friday evening, a

- at 8AM along with the usual coffee and doughnuts. Walt Good, our traditional
- first speaker will start at 9 and will be followed by a new speaker and a new
