Please check back frequently for status updates. Upcoming MeetingsAs you all know, given the continuing presence of the Covid-19 virus, we cannot gather for in-person meetings. However, we CAN assemble for remote meetings using Zoom. We have had several successfull and informative meetings in the past few months, and we will continure to use Zoom for the forseeable future. For the upcoming months, our Zoom meetings will be: Our December program's speaker will be Martin Grams, Jr. His topic is "Sgt. Preston of the Yukon". Our January program will feature Steve Darnell, editor of Nostalgia Magazine. Our February program will feature Lona Bailey, author of "Uncredited", a biography of Virginia Gregg. Jack French and Karl Shadow in print!There's a great seven page article on OTR's flying heroes, including Captain Midnight, Jimmie Allen, Speed Gibson, etc. in the Fall 2022 issue of Air & Space Quarterly. Lavishly illustrated in color, it covers the programs, script writers, and the numerous premiums offered to listeners. The magazine is published by the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, but unfortunately is available only to members of the National Air & Space Society. This membership has five levels, ranging from an annual rate of $ 35 to $500. Some familiar names are in the article as author Damond Benningfield interviewed MWOTRC club members Jack French and Karl Shadow, as well as Radio Recall contributor Professor Donna Halper. Mark Anderson will interview Jack about the article and will publish results in November GRTR. During the week prior to each meeting, club members will receive an email with the Zoom program information. If you are NOT receiving these emails, please check your email program to make sure that the messages are not being flagged as "Spam".
