| Good turnout except for the members from SLO who were on Summer Break. |
 |
| Nearly time for the meeting to start. |
 |
| President Morgan Hall's presentation was thorough and detailed enough for all. |
 |
| Members weren't just there. They were there and interested and informed. |
 |
| We haven't seen John Harbick for awhile due to some nasty injuries. |
 |
| More interested parties in the proceedings. Welcome to you both. |

| Tow plane on final for runway 7's nice grass strip. Julie Butler flying. |
 |
| Jeff Richardson about to fly for his BFR, amazed that two years has gone by so quickly. |
 |
| The tow plane maneuvers into position taking up the rope slack. |
 |
| Jeff Richardson feeling pretty good about his flying. He's been away a few weeks but still flies well. |
 |
| Clark Woolf continues his training so that he can solo again. He has been away since last August. |
 |
| Clark's first flight was a bit rusty as was expected, and we managed to scrape off most of that rust. |
 |
| Joe Anastasio about to fly his PW-5 with Larry Johnson helping out. |
 |
| A beautiful glider landing on a beautiful grass runway here at Avenal. |
