Looking for used stooge
From: John Pratt

Hi Roger…

Wondering if anyone out there has a John Morrill stooge they would like to part with. Contact me at flyerpratt@gmail.com

Thanks, John Pratt


1st 2016 AmCup report

Several Strong Starts, we’ll see if they hold the year.

F1A: Ken Bauer (looks like an Apple a day works), F1B: Walt Ghio and Alex Andriukov (battle of the Titans) , Super starts in F1C and F1J for Faust Parker. F1P: Sevak Malkhasyan (will be flying F1B and F1P at the Jr WC), F1G: Tiff O’Dell (not surprised), F1H: Blake Jensen (some what surprised but pleased for my student), F1Q: Jack Murphy (out to defend his first AmCup win?), F1E: Bob Sifleet (by golly a new name) and the new event- F1S: Lee “leeper” Hines.
