Joe's departure from Oregon Aviation will be Sorely felt but is not
without a solid basis. You should imagine how unresponsive the Manager
of Roberts Field - KRDM is.  The State Aviation and Governor's office
does squat, other state's value the employment base more highly. It is a
competitive market. Sorry it is happening without one last Redmond
picnic.

Subject: [LML] Re: Changes to the annual fly-in

Art,

Yes I remember that well, and I stood up and said that we all
appreciated the effort and expense the company puts out, hoped it would
remain yearly and that I would be willing to pay something if money was
the problem.  It is also easy to understand that some attendees want a
more central location but having it at least "near" the factory is one
of the huge draws for me.  It is nice to be able to interact with the
employees, see what is happening in the building, buy some
parts/accessories etc.

My wife and I also had vacation arrangements to go to Seattle just
before the fly-in, that we have to re-think now.

The other important question is, Will the company be moving to Texas or
anywhere else?

Joe, what is happening with this move talk?

if you remember last there was a suggestion to make it
every 2 years. I can understand the desire to make the
event more central and possible to move it around,
however if there where going to be a change it would have
been more considerate to announce it at the fly-in. I have
made vacation plan around the Redmond, OR area for the
beginning of Sept.. Joe if you where going to disregard the
response of the assemble of last years fly-in why take a vote.
