My nickname is "Chic." I grew up in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, living off the end of an active runway of the Greater Pittsburgh Airport. I watched Boxcars, Constellations, and Electras take off. When at the Observation Deck, I even talked to the departing pilots.
One Saturday, a hobby shop put on a Control Line display. I was hooked for life. Throughout my military life, it was Control Line and eventually RC models. I flew Sport, Pylon, and now that I am slowing down in age, Scale models. I try helping to introduce the young kids to our hobby through money, donations, giving away models —whatever it takes. Love the hobby and the people in the hobby. Thanks to the AMA and all that they do for each of us.
