From the office of the President!
"----I do solemnly swear to perform the duties of the President and defend the charter and bylaws of the EAA to the best of my ability -- So Help Me Paul-----" I am both flattered and disappointed by being elected to the office. Flattered because you consider me qualified to lead the chapter - -- disappointed because no others were in the race to contest for the opportunity to serve and do it their way, This election starts me on my fourteenth year as President to an EAA chapter, Seems that I am having more than my share of fun in EAA,
As some of you know, I have been a member of 168 longer than the four years since I moved back to Dallas in 1986. I first joined 168 in 1965 .. , Records for those dates are little fuzzy but they tell me that 168 was chartered in the early '60s. In those early meetings I remember Owen Bruce, Jim Rushing, Dale Brooks, Jack Winthrop, Judy Cobb, Dick Caven and others whose names I cannot bring to mind at this moment. Dick Cavin's newsletter was so good that I remained a member for several years after I moved to Mississippi ... just to keep in touch and get the news. For me 168 set the pattern for what an EAA chapter should be. The three chapters I served in Mississippi all got a strong does of doing in the 168 way. It is my opinion that EAA is supposed to be FUN -- not work -- it is supposed to be educational, inspiring and recreational. Therefore the goal of my administration will be to make 1991 "Educational fun" Now some of the "fun" and all of the "education comes from getting involved ~o prepare to step up and join the "group".
I am a strong believer in the lais-sez faire theory of government, thus I hope to follow the example of my hero "Ronnie'' and get good people, establish a plan and let them go to it. I just hope I don't get too forgetful ... nor fall asleep too often.
We have the beginnings of a super team to make 1991 a banner year. (everybody take turns at towing) John Ivy as Vice-President and program chairman, Doug Vail as Treasurer, Paul Kepner as Secretary ... plus an outstanding group on the Board. These elected volunteers are supported by some dedicated real ~olunteers ... Ernie Ludwick as temporary editor (we need a permanent one), Stephen Ferraro as Publisher and Bill Wisley for Advertising. Mel Asberry is once again Safety Officer and Ernie Ludwick as custodian of tools and books. Vern Williams has agreed to see that the trailer is located in the right place for our events. One major vacancy exists --- we need a couple of good EAAers to take on the duty of food experts to operate the eating activities at our airport get togethers •. Here is an opportunity to be a hero ... there will be others. Page two
As I see, it this EAA education platform has one purpose ... for "learning about airplanes and flying". That is sharing the skill and knowledge of airplanes with other people who enjoy aviation and flying. Lucky for us there are several by-product benefits ... we get to spend time with people who share our interests .•.. we get to visit interesting places where airplanes congregate and we get to see and admire many beautiful aircraft. In the process we stretch our minds learning more and more about Airplanes and Flying. TCAs notwithstanding.
In a more practical vein, following discussion of the Texas January weather ... unpredictable and miserable as it can be .. . we will forgo the Airport Fly-In this month.
Aero Country the Saturday after the meeting ... cafe for lunch ... ,(not official)
The year is started ... I can only do what you will suggest and support ... so help me and together we will make 168 great in '91!
Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!

Minutes of Directors Meeting, Thurs., Ded. 13, 1990
THE CHRISTMAS PARTY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS ... especially for John Ivy;s little Grandaughter. No discussion of old business. The January meeting will be on the SECOND Tuesday the balance of '91 will be at the regular time .... the First Tuesday. One item discussed was an introduction to a committee concept of chapter organization ... perhaps called "special interest groups" made up of ALL chapter members. The idea is to get everyone involved in something ... a more a~tive 168 perhaps.
Airport Meeting insurance was brought up and the news is ..• we bought the insurance plan 1 thru National and we .can call them Fly- Ins again.
The need for a Hangar Echoes editor was discussed. Thomas Mouser had to retire as editor ... and he did a great job for us .... Thanks Thomas. Being Editor is kind of fun if you have a word processor available and you enjoy talking to sources of information and keeping up on what's going on. Chapter members are generous with input and pictures ... and Stephen Ferraro as Publisher is there to help.
The January assembly of Hanger Ehoes will be at Bill Wisley's home on the 29th of Jan. The Board Meeting for the month of Jan. will be on the 17th. Page three
There will be no formal Fly-In in January Try Aero Country for lunch at the cafe.,., Saturday after the regular meeting,
Chapter 168 is about to have a real P.A. system that helps us old pilots that have to ask ... What? What? at meetings.

OSHKOSH HAD 850,000 visitors this 1990. That's lots of folks.& 13,000 airplanes. Pag~ four
QUESTAIR's VENTURE - will be paying a visit to the Dallas/Fort Worth area January 26. More specifically, it will be at Charles Boyd's hangar over at Hicks Field. The Venture will be coming in the evening before so they plan to get started about 9:30AM and be there most of the day. Charle's hangar is the 2nd hangar from the south end, on the East side. Look for the signs. If you'd like more information call him at (817) 571-3544. One of our new members, Ken Parks, recently flew the Questair when he was down at their home field in Greensboro, NC. This very fast (250+ Knots), 2-seat, all metal airplane has won several speed/efficiency contests and attracted lots of attention at the Sun-N-Fun, Oshkosh, Kerrville Fly-In's. LANCAIR IV - as I mentioned at our December Meeting\XMAS Party, the folks at Lancair have expressed an interest in bringing their new 4-seat Lancair IV prototype to Dallas for a visit. If you would be interested is having your new Chapter Officers pursue this offer, give them a call. C.J.B.
CHAPTER 168 CHRISTMAS PARTY - was teriffic ! Lots of members, their Spouses, and some visitors attended. Everyone enjoyed the feast of Food, Friendship, and Fun. A special thanks to Ann Asberry, Ellen Button, and the other ladies and gents who helped set up and decorate the Community Building with a Christmas flare, and to Ted Thayer and Collin Farrell for arranging to obtain and show the memorable video "Come Fly with the Geese" on the large screen video projection system. The "White Elephant" gift exchange was a lot of fun, and an interesting lesson is human psychology!
