It's a shame that you young guys can't see the good in AMA. I have been a member of both this organization and my home club now for 64 consecutive years. All of the good things that happened to me in my lifetime regarding model airplanes, and all of the opportunities that I have had building and flying them, was only made possible as an AMA member.

Sometime ago, in another thread on this same subject, I listed all the reasons why AMA is near and dear to me. You won't find me bashing the AMA in any fashion You won't find me bashing the AMA at any time.

To answer the question of AMA directors, I know a few of them, and they are all good people. Don't let one or two sour apples in this forum spoil your views of the AMA. They have done a lot of good over the course of my lifetime, and I hope it continues so that you "younguns" can review your thinking 50/60 years from now.

Our home club was organized in 1935 - the AMA was organized in 1936. For 70 years, we have always been a club, and I now believe that we are the oldest club in the USA. No way to prove that, but if anyone knows of an older club, please identify.
