Is pattern dying??

It doesn’t seem like it should be a problem if pattern flyers built their aircraft from kits, plans or created their own designs. That’s how world champ Ralph Brooke did it between his dental patient appointments. Needless to say being a dentist, his work was flawless along with his flying. I often wondered if he scheduled fewer patients when he was doing a build.
What year was that? This is a different world now. I just built 2 for a dentist because he doesn't have the time, and am going to build him 2 more
