Wanted to add a personal thank-you to the thread. I went down for my third Pattern contest and immediately felt like I'd been a lifetime club member. "Y'all" put on a great contest and know how to make someone feel like a friend. Thanks Don and thanks Chris for inviting me and of course thanks to all the awesome judges and their fantastic input. Can't wait for next year!

P.S. Just thought I'd share a quick photo of Don and his son Joseph flying at the same time. I'll try to upload my other photos to the club web page on coppermine tomorrow.
