I kind of expected he would do that. What I didn't expect is that he would adopt his #1 fan Devan as his partner and caller for the ENTIRE weekend. This kid was with AJ just about every second and AJ was totally selfless and right there high-fiving and answering every question or comment Devan had. It was one of the most heart-warming things I have seen at an RC contest and I confess that I even got choked up a few times watching Devan squirm with obvious glee and excitement out on the flightline next to his hero. Very rich stuff. Andrew, you're a class act my friend.
Hey Fred,

This statement is so true it makes me extremely proud to know Andrew. He's one of the nicest and most approachable young men I've met in the RC community, and I'm seriously blessed to know him and his family.

The happiness of Devon is one of the best memories I will bring home.....

What a great event... I think I am still tired.

John and Tina were amazing... New IMAC rule... pool and hot tub must be provided at all events!

A quick note about Seth's wing issue...... I was flying on the other flight line at the time....
I heard a strange noise......... and then I heard just general crowd noise behind me.......

I ask my caller (thanks David Stewart...... Clover Creek INT champ for your calling... I REALLY appreciate it!!)
and I quote...... "Is there something going on that I need to be made aware of.....?"

after a long delay (while Seth is flying around..... doing laps with one wing.....)

"Uhhhhhh.........nope.... nothing.... Next manuever... down figure P....."

about that time the judges tell me to abort and exit the box.... Yep... there was something going on!!!
Great job Seth!


Just an amazing weekend......

really can't put it in words....

I talked to Andrew about having Devon as his caller, and how much it meant to a lot of people to see that. Andrew told me " That is what this hobby is all about" What do you say to that ???? (Besides thank you)

I think Devon had more guts than any of us!!!

I know for a fact that Bob tucked the mic and turned tail once or twice, i know quite a few people including myself that were bailing during some of the freestyle maneuvers.....

Devon, nah, he stood there and cheered louder!

What an amazing event, and I am truely thankful to have been apart of it and look forward to seeing it flourish.

btw.... Vote for Pedro. ( Pride)

Marian....thank you and all the other judges for spending your holiday weekend judging. Curiosity has the best of me though. Just wondering how you ended up with Andy Kane's initial on the inside of your arm without even knowing about it. ( I think this smiley face reminds me of Andy) Oh well....don't ask...don't tell!
