Christmas Party – 12/18/16
Thank you to Helen for again hosting a wonderful Christmas party. We are grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the time with friends, especially those we don’t get to see very often. This year’s party coincided with Laura’s break from medical school, and we were very glad to catch up with her. We also had a guest from the Eastern PA chapter, Juliet Lindrooth, who is the Mid-Atlantic Section governor. Juliet flies for American Airlines, and spends her summers flying vintage aircraft at Eagles Mere Air Museum in Laporte. Her Grumman Tiger is based at KIPT. As section governor, she’s working to revive interest and participation in section activities, and encourage chapters within the section to get to know each other better. We are happy to have met her and thank her for reaching out to us.
Summer Picnic – 07/20/16
Nancy McCurry hosted our summer picnic/pool party at her home in Quakertown. It had been a while since we got to see Debbie Maseychik, who brought her dog Hootie, and caught us up on her latest adventures flying her Mooney out of Wyoming Valley. Anneliese Vetter, Nancy and Debbie shared their experiences flying gliders at Beltzville. We all enjoyed good food, wine and camaraderie.
