I am a second generation AMA member, my Dad who passed in 2023 at 94 years old had a very low AMA number and gave me the gift of his time helping me with model building starting when I was 5 years old. I started out with Comet kits, moved through Free Flight, tow line gliders, Control Line, and RC, and now at 68, have come full circle and am back building Comet kits and scratch building other stick and tissue designs. I thank the AMA and my father for blessing me with these lifetime skills that I have enjoyed for over 60 years.
