Meeting Notes for June 1st, 2011
\nThe meeting started at 6:00 with our normal BBQ hamburgers and hot
\ndogs, sadly without Melinda\u2019s famous chili! Also salad and chips and
\nsome good cookies. Still the best bargain in the area for $4
\nMeeting called to order at 7:05 PM by President Bill Dewey with
\nSec.\/Tres. Randy Stout also present. The 15 members and guests in
\nattendance then introduced themselves and gave a brief \u201cWhat exciting
\nthing happened this last month\u201d. We had Brent Hennings as a guest at
\nthe meeting.
\nTom Cunningham sent around a picture of a train from Antelope Valley
\nthat makes a complete circle during its run up a hill. He also
\nreported that the Antelope Valley airshow was a bit of a bust. The
\nwinds never went below 30 and the temperature never went over 50.<\/p>\n
Gary Ludeke reported that he is painting the rotating beacon tower at
\nthe Oregon Aviation Historical Society at Cottage Grove. The last time
\nit was painted, it was lying down. Not so much this time!<\/p>\n
The next Chapter 31 breakfast will be held on Saturday, 18th of June.<\/p>\n
The Memorial Area plans are still progressing. \u00a0President Bill has
\ngiven up on working his way through the school of architecture to get
\na student to help with the design. He and his lovely wife Dee have
\ngone to the library and gotten plans that they hope to modify and
\nsubmit to get the ball rolling. He will submit the plans to Shelly who
\nwill submit them to the city and get approval from the building dept.
\nHe has budgeted between $2000-4000 for the cost. Secretary Stout
\nsuggested that OAHS Board member Doug Kindred ask them (OAHS) if they
\nwould be interested in participating with us in order to use their 501
\nC-3 non-profit status to \u00a0help with donations. He will report back
\nnext month.<\/p>\n
Tim Talen at the Ragwood Refactory is also hoping to restore the 1st
\nairplane shot by the Japanese in Pearl Harbor, an Interstate Cadet.
\nThe owner is confirming identity at this time.<\/p>\n
