August Meeting Summary:

Approximately one dozen former and current Aces showed up for the Annual Picnic, which was held in the parking lot at Squadron 2 RHV, because it was too hot to sit in the setting sun on the ramp side. Doug and Carol provided a musical interlude, and were assisted by two other guitar players. John Gould provided a large barbecue and food, and we devoured a box of 50 hot dogs which was obtained surplus from Watsonville EAA 119. Another half dozen Squadron 2 members joined us for food and flying talk.
