Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The spirit of the program seems to have caught the imagination and brought responses from a lot of people... Tools and materials just show up. The kids needed work tables and on one Saturday morning, two 16' long tables were waiting by the door to the workshop. One day a planer turned up and on another day, there was a collection of other kinds of power tools. Everyone wants this program to succeed and by all appearances, it's doing just that."
