Member Jim Theobald is home from the hospital. The original diagnosis was to replace the mitro valve in his heart, however during surgery the valve was repaired without the need for replacement. Jim is expected to be back in circulation in about 6 weeks.

News from member Jim Freeman:
Yesterday (November 19^th) I signed a purchase order for a Diamond Twin Star with the diesel engines.  I got to fly one at the AOPA meeting in Palm Springs, and loved it. I get number 113 from the Canadian factory, and they are on about number 30, so probably next fall.  You know anyone who wants a nice Cirrus SR22?
