Burgers and Brats with Alex - 21June2016

The club hosted a cookout and chat session on Tuesday, June 21, 2016 for two former friends of the club. Several years ago, young Alex Curle was the chef at several of our events. He even sported chef garb at one of the occasions. He is quite a knowledgeable young man especially when it come to airplanes. Alex and his dad Ron participated in annuals and other events as well back in the day. They were in town and wanted to stop by and say hello.

President Dennis Mathis organized the event and enlisted the grilling skills of Joe Rector and the stellar brownie baking skills of Gordon Hay. I suspect Alex may just have been a ploy to get Gordon to cook up a batch of those killer Ghiridelli brownies.

Judging from the way the brats and hot dogs were gone in 20 minutes, I'd say the meeting yesterday was a great success! Many thanks to Joe Rector for a marvelous example of cooking expertise! Gordon Hay's brownies were a big hit as well. Alex Curle and his dad, Ron, were very appreciative of the many club members who came by to say hello. It helped a bit by Harry Andonian reciting some of his aviation experiences. He even took Alex to his aircraft to show his airplane.

A good time was had by all. Thanks to all club members who showed up to meet and greet Alex and his dad. It was a good experience.
