Gordy is right on with his endorsement of Dave Mathewson for AMA President.
A couple of years ago, during the near-demise of slope combat, I found myself involved to some degree and corresponded with Dave on several occasions. I was impressed by his willingness to listen and understand a situation, in contrast to some in power who reacted to mis (and dis)-information on the subject. His actions back his words. He, along with some other district VP's, were genuine allies.
Bill, you are not only legitimate now, you have been assimilated... :-) Slope combat will be in the 2005 AMA rule book, right up there with Pattern and CL Scale.

Well I'll be. Gordy asked a candidate about my favorite flavor of flying; Foamie Combat. More importantly Mr. Mathewson offered a reasonable and supportive answer!
Wow!
Does this mean I can now safely consider myself legitimate? No longer a bastardized, fringe participant? Goodness, I can hardly imagine.
No longer the black sheep, or red-headed step child? No longer Un-Clean?
You know, if there were more than 2.5 slope flyers in my county, I might get pretty excited. DAVE MATHEWSON for president.
Thanks for asking Gordy. I'm impressed.
Let's be sure to give this gentleman a look:
