Chapter 25 Scholarship Awarded to Lakeville High School Student
Each year, Chapter 25 awards a $500 scholarship to a Lakeville High School student. This year’s winner is David Stark. David will be attending the University of Minnesota in the fall. David joined us on May 20th at the Chapter hangar at Airlake for an airplane ride.
EAA Air Academy Scholarship Awarded
This year we have awarded our Air Academy Scholarship to Raynor Poehls. Raynor is a student in Peter Denny’s aviation class at Washburn High School in Minneapolis, where he has distinguished himself as a class leader in the construction of Washburn’s Sonex project.
Raynor will attend the EAA Advanced Air Academy, which provides an atmosphere for students to become totally immersed in the world of flight. Ground instruction and introductory recreation flight experiences highlight this meaningful, action-packed camp. It combines “in-the-air” and “on-the-ground” hands-on activities.
Young Eagle Flights Pass 2,500
Chapter 25 Pilots continue to rack up Young Eagles flights. We reached the magic number of 2,500 in 2005, and now are working on our next 2500! Pictured is YE pilot Mark Kolesar with some recent additions to our log book. Remember we fly them the 3rd Saturday of every month at Airlake!!
Roger Anderson nominated for MAHOF
by Noel Allard
from On Final March 2006
This year, I have nominated our Chapter 25 member, Roger Anderson, as a candidate for the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame. As most of you know, Roger was one of the founding members of Chapter 25 some fifty years ago, and his Minnesota background of aerospace education, teaching Minnesota youth about aviation technology and aircraft maintenance, makes him a solid candidate. His candidacy will face a challenge this June when his credentials are presented to the Hall of Fame Selection Committee, as he will be among nearly 70 candidates vying for the six openings. You, members of Chapter 25 who know and love Roger can help his case by writing your own comments on Roger’s contributions to the Minnesota aviation community and forwarding them to me, Noel Allard, 14155 Briarwood Drive, Menahga, MN 56464. I’ll need the letters as soon as possible to get things moving.
