I am 78 and have been building and flying models for 70 years. Flew Control Line for 10 years, because that's what I could afford. Joined PGRC club at 16 when I was only 1 of 15 members of the club. I was drafted in the Army almost right out of high school. I convinced the Army that I had a background in Aviation. They sent me to Aviation school, where I was trained to be a crew chief on a Huey gun ship.
I was discharged from the army just after turning 21. I came home got a job in the IT world and continued my passion in the hobby. I have been blessed to have met so many wonderful people associated in this hobby, from my fellow club members to people I have met all around the country.
