Our 2003 National Convention is now history and this event has been one of the most successful ever from the standpoint of the quality of models on display and the number and enthusiasm of the convention attendees! We do have quite a few new product developments we'll be reporting soon that were shown and announced at the convention; watch for a report from Todd Terpstra very soon. The model contest proved very succesful in the new format and we've got the award winners' photos posted. Special thanks once again to our members who contributed their time and efforts to make this convention so successful; Ralph Ratcliffe, Fred Drenhouse, Alan Olson, and Wade Roese. - Bob Johnson [posted 06/16/2003]
