Some comments on Bill O.

1. Every major function that our club has had, he has either made a personal appearence or has had one of the AVP's come to our event.

2. I have talked with him numerous times. His number one concern is SAFETY. I talked to him last Friday as a matter of fact regarding the same issue that J_R did, and was given the same answers. (Please note that I talked with him prior to J-R's post). The call to Bill was a return of a call he had made to me earlier in the day.

3. He'll tell it like it is, straight, to the point, no B.S.. He is not a favorite at HQ because of this, but it does help him in getting things done.

4. I discussed some of the problems that I had noticed and had with the NATS and C/L W.C.s handling and lack of communication, and he informed me that he was aware of this and was sending messages to the right people. Now, what those people do with the messages is another forum topic altogether

5. I expressed my dissatisfaction with Mr. Kaluf, and the way he handled the hotel arrangements for the C/L W.C.. (Booked all of the rooms at the "good" hotels for the visitors, locking all of the RC Combat pilots and pit crew members (70 to 100 people ) into having to book at what I would call second rate establishments. ( I DO NOT recommend the Super 8 in Muncie). Bill said he would pass on my problems to Mr. Kaluf.

Again, I deal with Bill numerous times throughout the year. I have always been well treated, not just given the "politically correct" brush off, and have seen action from him when it was necessary. I can most assuradely tell you that what he puts in his campaign letter will be his goals, and he will work with complete determination to acheive these goals.

Guess you can tell where my vote is going.
