Default RE: Classic Pattern Event in Chicago...2010?

With so much interest in the 78 TOC event I got into my archives and pulled out this photo. It shows the TOC pit area/flightline. I am walking towards my Super Fli (skinny & hair). Next to me is Ron Chidgey. Really neat to see all the Zlin's, Ackromasters, etc. Standing at the top right on the tarmic is the event promoter Mr. Bill Bennett, then owner of the Circus Circus hotel/casino and sponser of the event. His idea of this event changed RC aerobatics forever. His death a few years ago was another loss to model avaiation however his influence will never be forgotten.
