Default RE: St. Clairsville Oh Pattern Meet

I had a great time at the contest myself. The food and company were excellent. We flew a little too. Mark Radcliffe and I talked quite a bit throughout the weekend and over dinner on Saturday. I flew at the St. Clairsville contest in 1983 and Mark was the CD. After that we both took a long time off. Of course, he was missed more than I was. Most of the guys there didn't realize that he was on four world championship teams and finished as high as third in the world. There were a few surprised faces when it came up in conversation. It was pretty obvious watching him fly that he could get it back pretty quickly. He still has it! He said that he had a good time and gave the impression that we would see him again! He said that he has another committment for the D-4 championship weekend, but Mark Atwood and I were working on him for next year. You will see his picture in the Kfactor. I bet he will get one of those in the mail..........
