Where was the AMA
Where was the AMA
I went to bomber field in hopes of meeting the candidates of D8. Horrace Cain and Maybe Sandy Frank or Mike Moss but never did see or hear of them even being there. Of which I thought was odd that for such a large AMA gathering there would be some showing of not only elected officers of the AMA or candidates for future representatives of the AMA but there was none. The only one to show up and express great interest of the showing was Jim Branum. I do understand some people do get busy with other more pressing things but not to show or have a representative of the local AMA leadership of such a large and well publisized gathering is not a good thing in my book. Nore is it in the AMA’s best interest to have candidate's on the ballot that are only part time residence of the D8 area. For to be a true rep of the District I do think that one should not only have a place of residence in the district but also live there full time.

Man, you do live in dream land. AMA, the members, the workers, those that carry the recreation / sport / hobby, or your favorite definition, to the public were all around you.
I spent Sat. there as I stated in your other post with my name (Thanks for the publicity).
AMA was everywhere, AMA as it should be, AMA members enjoying and being a part of a superior show/activity/event, done by a group of individuals that while wanting to be associated with AMA, do not need Big Brother telling them how to operate.
They bought the place, built the place and manage the place. That is why certain elected small-time dictator wanna'-bees stay away. They cannot control the real AMA, the membership. However I do agree with you that the AMA elected DVP should be there, yet one person cannot be everywhere. I will not criticize that absence as I know not the reason.
Well, dreamy, I never saw you either. I definitely never even thought about you, and I certainly wasn't looking for you. I saw SAP and JB several times, but they each stood right beside me at different times, different places, and cared not to conference, so I respected their desire.
The Bomber Field show is far too much of a REAL show of model aviation technology and skill to infest it with petty whimpering politics as you present here. Enjoy the revelations.

Gosh Horrace,
There sure were a lot of folks looking for you and not seeing you Saturday! I know I asked several who were also wondering where you were. Some were even from Jetero.
I had business to conduct so I have to admit to not always looking at every single individual around because I can get focused on the task at hand. However, since you stood by me, you must recall what shirt I had on. Care to share with folks here and really prove me blind?

Don't hold your breath. I have no reason to have to PROVE any statement as truth.
He could ask SAP if SAP told Robert Kosack (sp?) of Morris Hobby if SAP made the statement "I have communicated with you". I heard that.
One thing I will say, JB has been eating very well since I last saw him. Very healthy.

RE: Where was the AMA
Hey, Hossfly Cain....Out of curiosity, just how much do you think JB weighs, now-a-days?????
I am sorry that I didn't acknowledge your presence...I musta been overwhelmed by all the great model airplanes! I KNOW if I had really put my eyes on you or you had SAID someting to me (you eveidentially know I was there), I would be as gracious as any human being could be and reciprocated....
