EDITOR’S CORNER

Boy, what a month it has been! As soon as the clocks fell back an hour, I thought I would gain an extra hour of sleep and the mornings would be lighter before heading off to work. Nope - didn’t happen. It is still dark in the morning.
Then came the start of the holiday season - Thanksgiving and now Christmas. For Thanksgiving, my local sons and their families and Suzanne & I traveled to Omaha, NE (specifically Papillion, NE) to visit with my out-of-state son and family. Since we will not see them or the grandkids at Christmas, we celebrate ‘Thanksmas’ - Thanksgiving on Thursday, Christmas on Saturday. Add a few days on both ends of the holiday makes for a looong weekend. I got back just in time to work on this newsletter. What a trip! Excellent weather, good family discussions, plenty of food and libations. We even hit the local BX at the Air Force base in Omaha to get some good ‘Black Friday’ deals (and no retail tax)! My son Marc is active reserve Army and got us in. Even though it is a SAC base, I didn’t see any neat aircraft laying around. Oh well.

December is an important month. Dues are now being received for the 2022 year and ballots are being sent out to elect our club officers. Be sure to vote. Remember also there is no club meeting in December, so I’ll see you all in January.
That’s all for now, and as always-.See you on the road.
