And the winner is…
Friends, Romans, 1-26ers, lend me your ear! It is time to announce the winners for the 2004 sweepstakes contest! First of all, let me say that it was another stellar year for the sweepstakes, and I imagine will be the last year for the “Old style” written application form. I will be turning the sweeps over to the capable hands of Sheriff Jay with the Las Vegas Valley Soaring Association. I am retiring as Sheriff so that I can concentrate on not only putting on a great nationals in beautiful Moriarty this year, but to attend Air Force flight training as well. They are going to pay me to go fly, can you believe it?!?! So, without further ado, here they are!

Dave, congrats on really representing back East for the guys back there. Way to step up to the plate!
Unfortunately, there were no bronze flights this year, but hopefully we can get a more energetic participation this year as I am going to personally encourage each and every flight that is submitted to the OLC be submitted to the sweepstakes. This will show us “How we are doing” not only against ourselves, but the rest of the world as well!!
