I know I wasn’t real clear, but my article was writtenas a combined Rocky Mountain Bonanza Society and Pacific Bonanza Society“Regional News” piece. I offered to write the article for RMBS presidentand host of the fly-in, Ron Schmidt, in hopes that it would help promoteother Regional societies to join together for future events.Ron had posted this RMBS event under the June activities in the magazine’s“ABS Events.” He and his wife, Kim, organized the fly-in and invitedour PBS members to join. Ron put a lot of effort arranging this phenomenaladventure, and he and RMBS deserves the credit. I apologize for the confusion.— Kathi BlytheVolume 11 • Number 12 AMERICAN BONANZA SOCIETY 27
