~~rPRE's'T cS E N-i;'s;CcrfvrfV1 'E ~~rr ~s"=---BY- CRAIG-BAllEY-As the new president of ASS, I am flattered and honored that the ASS board has asked me to lead ourorganization into 2005. In my first column, I thought this would be a good time to tell you a little aboutmy background and what I see in the upcoming year.Personal backgroundI grew up in Brill. Iowa. a lillie lawn in north central IowaWilh a population under 2.500. Brill is known as the HoboCapilal of the US , a weekend celebration my great-grandfatherstarted in an effort to bolster tourism. Brilt has no airport: theclosest one was a grass strip 15 miles away in Garner, Iowa.That strip no longer exists as it has been recently plowedunder.From an early age I had a fascination with planes. I wouldregularly ask my parents to pull into any airport that we mightbe coming up to so I could look at the planes. I am not surewhere my interest came from, as no one in my family was apilol. With model airplanes and U control ,049 trainers, myfascination continued through my early years.It was not until I became a senior in high school that I hadmy first chance to take an airplane ride. A classmate receivedhis private pilot certificate, and he asked if I would care to gofor a ride. I don't think I ever said yes to anything 0 fast in mylife. It wasn't long thereafter that I got my first glimpse of thisbeautiful earth from an airplane. What athrill for me. and that trip forever set thehook that flying was for me.lt was not until the summer betweenmy sophomore and junior year at IowaState that I was able to implement my planto become a pilot. During the day I workedroad construction and several nights aweek I would drive to Clear Lake, Iowa,some 25 miles away to take flying lessons at Dwyer Aviation.This is the same airport and FBO that Buddy Holly departedfrom on his last fli ght. The day before I returned to Iowa Stateto begin my junior year of college, I passed the private pilotflight check.Flying is a 101 like the Boy Scouts: There is always anothermerit badge 10 earn. In the case of flying, there is alwaysanother certificate or rating to work on, Over the years I havebeen very active in general aviation. I hold a multi-engine ATPcertificate along with fli ght instructor certificates for airplanes,single and multiengine land as well as instruments. In addition,I am a safety counselor for the FAA out of Milwaukee.Wisconsin.I have in excess of 8,000 hours of flight time, a large partof that in Bonanzas and Barons. Since moving to Chicagosome 10 years ago, almost all of my annual 300 hours of flightFlying is a lot like the BoyScouts: There is alwaysanother merit badge toearn, In the case of flying,there is always another certificateor rating to work on,time is in Bonanzas and Barons. Ofthat. I average 125 hours per year inmy own S35 with the remai ning hours as dual given either onmy own or through the BPPP.My real job during the day is with Kraft Foods where Isupport and provide direction to our labor relations team in thearea of employee benefits. In addition to labor relations. I handleall the aspects of employee benefits for acqu isitions as wellas divestitures and closings.Despite a busy professional life and a "second job" as anight instructor, the best part of my life is in my S35 with mywife Connie. We have had some great flying adventurestogether and look forward to many more.The future for ASSAs I look to the future, I am excited about where ABS isheaded. Over the last several years, the board has taken a morestrategic approach to our Society's business, looking more tothe future and the needs of our members.For instance, in 2003, with the help ofABS members, the Technical Summit wasundertaken. This year the first EducationSummit was held in Wichita. Both haveresulted in a great many initiatives gettingstarted and some have already beencompleted.During 2005, our focus will be onmoving these two initiatives ahead to providegreater technical support for our members as we continueto emphasize the importance of lifelong learning for pilots aswell as for mechanics who work on our airplanes.In addition to the ongoi ng work of these two summits,ABS will continue to expand the role of the Internet as anever-increasing resource to gather and di sseminate technical aswell as other kinds of information to our members.An example of this increased focus on the Internet will bethe introduction of the Frequently-Asked-Question database(FAQ) as a first resource of technical help for our members.More on FAQ will be coming out in the next few months.With the help of the ABS board and staff, along withBPPP and increased member involvement. I feel certain 2005will become a stellar year for our Society.-CraigABS November 2004 www.bonanza,org Page 8704
