Our Speaker this month was to have been Alan Bannister. However, a family emergency took precedence. With great ability, Walt Blackmore and Jim Sublett were able to make a last minute fill-in with a presentation and demon-stration of wood carving for am-ateurs. Walt began learning this tal-ent in Montreal during his last as-signment for AlliedSignal. He pre-sented information on types of carving and carvers, carver skills and the variety of tools used in this craft. In addition, various carvings and tools were available at the meeting to demonstrate his points. Thanks much Walt. Walt, Jim and their compatriots in this skill will be showing their works at the 17th Desert Woodcarving Show and Sale, Saturday Mar. 11 and Sunday Mar. 12 at Mesa Centennial Hall, 201 N. Center St., Mesa. Our next meeting will be Wednesday, March 1st. Our speaker will be Gary Hertzler. A long time Allied-Signal engineer (1971-2000), Gary will talk about his experiences building, modifying and flying his Burt Rutan designed Vari-Eze. Gary’s work has earned him 3 World Records for effic-iency and non-re-fueled flight.
