A BIG THANK YOU!

Whiteplains Plantation Pilots Association

May 21, 2006

To the Whiteplains Plantation Family,

Another very successful fly-in is on the record books as we hosted the South Carolina Breakfast Club. We served 220 people the best breakfast in South Carolina. This first class residential community with aviation amenities, is one of a kind in South Carolina and we all should be quite proud of it. The grounds, hangers and homes looked great because of a common effort by all to obtain the best look possible. This is a steak and eggs place to live!

An extra big Thank You to the volunteers who did a great job of handling the ground maintenance, car parking, aircraft parking, air traffic control, latrine service, hanger preparation and food service. And a sincere Thank You to our hosting hanger owners, Ray and Mary Anne Chaplin. I heard that Ray found some tools that had been missing since he moved here! A big Thank You to the folks who drove their pride and joy classic cars and shared them with us.

Normally at this time of the year I would turn over my duties to Ray Hill, our Vice President/Secretary, to carry on for the summer months. But there has been a drastic change in my life, as less than a week ago I was diagnosed with serious lung and liver cancer. Therefore, I have a new job assignment as captain of the battle to win over this shocking health issue. Nancy and I will take a Medical Leave of Absence from our Whiteplains duties to concentrate all of our energies in conquering this daunting threat.

Please support Ray Hill as he carries on my duties and support the Whiteplains Pilots Association with your attendance and enthusiasm.

May your wheels touch first.

Lee Van Wormer
President
