There was a fine turnout for the Odessa/Midland, TX, flyin/meeting of USPA May 20-24. Although windy, the weather was excellent, and about 12 planes flew into Schlemeyer Field for west Texas hospitality, good food, and a good time.
Business was not cut short, however, as the annual membership meeting, general members’ meeting, and quarterly board meeting were all held on Friday and Saturday mornings, with new officers being elected for the 2004-2005 year which begins July 1. USPA’s new President will be Steve Uslan of Odessa, and Vice President for Meetings will be Arnold (Zim) Zimmerman of St. Louis. The other officers remain the same.
Receiving special honors and certificates for dedication and devoted service to USPA were President Chuck Huber (Denton, TX), Vice President for Communications Arv Schultz (Phoenix, AZ), and Vice President for Meetings Jeff Griffiths (Overland Park, KS).
Six new USPA members signed up, and an organizational meeting for TX02 will be held soon.
Pam and Steve Uslan put together a busy weekend for USPA members and area pilots, and among the fun activities was a visit to the Commemorative Air Force Museum in Midland and a double header with the Midland Rockhounds baseball team. To see USPA at play, check out the attached pictures.
