 Chapter
174 and Build A Plane Program Cited in Plane & Pilot Magazine.
Our Chapter received recognition in the December issue of Plane &
Pilot magazine for its support of the "Build A Plane" program, making a
difference in the lives of area kids who want to get involved in
aviation and aircraft construction. The article, by Lyn Freeman,
mentions chapter members Tim Fry, Tom Jenkins, Wayne Messmer, and of
course Hal Shevers, for their strong involvement in the program, which
is sponsored by Sportys, Chapter 174 and Aviation Explorer Post 78.
