I've
submitted this article because Dan's Mon-key would be angry with me if I
didn't. We met Steve at ARC in Atlanta and spent a fair amount of time with
him at KC so I knew I had to get him a report of some sort! He would
want to know how Geoff (my son) fared.
Geoffrey
and I attended the US Nationals in Anaheim and he had a very successful
trip. He managed to walk away with 3 first place awards as well as a
second and a third. He also received "Best of Show"
in Juniors. He entered 5
items in 4 categories and they were a V-2 in Miscellaneous (second), a
M151 "Mutt" in Military Vehicles (first), a Skyraider in 1/48
(first) a FW 190 D-13 in 1/72 (third) and a Corsair in 1/72 (first and
Best of Show).

We
also had the chance to see some familiar faces and get some great shopping
in which is always great. We attended the Planes of Fame / Yanks Air
Museum tours and saw many warbirds for the first time. What a great
tour that was! We also managed to get in a ball game (Blue Jays and
Angels) and Disneyland. I had about $1.50 left in my pocket when I
got home!
