Welcome back from the vacation everyone. The Christmas party was fantastic. Thanks to all who helped make for a memorable night. Our January Meeting is back at Club Muroc. We have a great speaker for this event. He is Ed "E. D." McKim - a Buff and SR-71 guy. He entered the USAF in 1970, spent 15 years on active duty, and has been in aerospace for 25 years in SoCal, at Hughes, Lockheed-Martin, and is currently working for Northrop-Grumman in Palmdale. E.D. will be telling us about his techniques for "Dodging SAMs in Southeast Asia" and elsewhere. The menu at the club includes some great favorites. Programming note: the venerable Bob Kay (K-Bob) will be taking over for me as Adjutant. Please give him all the great assistance that you gave me during my term! See ya there!
