Interesting EAA meeting

Post by JohnR »

Just got back from our monthly Chapter 33 EAA meeting. It was quite interesting to me. We got to tour the tower and facilities at CID. There were somewhere around 30 people there and they took us through and showed us how things were setup and worked. Karla went with me and was a little bit unsure if she realy wanted to go. After the tour she told me she was really glad she went and had enjoyed it.

It was nice to see the people you talk to and what they are doing. Old hat to many of you here probably, but it was a good way to help me as a newbie understand the funtioning of things.

Now I have a better idea of what Andy does for a living!

That's GREAT John! Our chapter did the same thing for our July meeting this year, and the experience for those that haven't seen it is a great one! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Agreed, Last time I was in Nantucket I did the same thing. The kids (yah, I am getting old!) that worked there were really cool. We had some laughs and got the inside scoop.

A good thing to do for sure!
