A BIG Thank You to our
ADA Heroes of the day! Due to our HSPA
prop truck breaking down on route to competition, we thank those that lended
a hand. First and foremost to Chuck Laveck, & Lisa Anthony who were
the ones driving, and spent 5 hours out on the road, the Bednarsky and Allen
families for stopping and helping get the props to competition, Reilly &
Teddy Forance for making several trips, along with Ted Forance, & Harry
Hackworth who spent hours at a CT garage. We can't thank you enough!
