OFFICERS REPORTS

August 2010


PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Carl Diefenbach

You may ask yourself, "what are all these Wingmaster's pilots doing at McDonald's?"  Well we all stopped by for a McCafe and we were so impressed we had our monthly membership meeting in their upscale dining room.  The turnout was exceptional and I found the $.64 Senior coffee just right for the occasion.
 
We were joined by Bob Peterson, a member of the Board of Palomar Flyers.  Bob was interested to see what these "Wingmaster fellows" are all about.  Quite frankly, Bob moved into our neighborhood, saw the flying activity from his house and homed in on our site to join the club.  Unfortunately, at the time for unexplained reasons Bob did not receive the traditional Wingmasters Welcome.  Flying since 1959, certainly Bob had the experience we respect in our ranks but, nonetheless, not one person said hello.  Naturally, he moved on to look for friends elsewhere.  Hearing this is disturbing.  I don't think this scenario could play out today.  Who among us is so self-absorbed they cannot welcome a newcomer to the field? 
 
Bob has re-joined the club and I personally welcomed him aboard at the meeting.  I ask all of you to reflect on this and while this occurred years ago let's be sure that any such perception of our club is quickly erased and the true Wingmasters camaraderie is enjoyed by all.

Fly Safe, Always,

- Carl
