Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 59 hosted a visit from National EAA leaders to present a program for our local Region 12 teachers. Dr. Lee Siudzinski and Michelle Robbins came to Waco, Texas to explain the AeroScholars program to local teachers and administrators.

We were honored to have 7 teachers and two administrators from the Region 12 Central Texas area at the meeting. The program started at 9 AM and the presentation was completed by our regularly scheduled Lunch Bunch start time of 11:45.
Dan McKee, Executive Director for the Central Texas Flying Club, picked up the tab for all the AeroScholars folks to eat lunch with the Chapter 59 members. The Central Texas Flying Club also helped make this a memorable trip for the visitors by meeting and paying for our presenters at the IHOP restaurant for breakfast as well as a steak dinner at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant for the National EAA AeroScholar leaders, key Chapter members and some of our Region 12 partners.
Dan created a favorable opportunity for the visitors by providing the opportunity for the attendees to fly with local Chapter 59 pilots using our hangar as the starting point. Orlan Scott, Boyce Vardiman and Monty Suffern flew the visitors during the afternoon from the McGregor Executive Airport.
The presentation was thorough and well done. There were a lot of probing questions and a real desire to get more involved with the AeroScholars program. Judy York, Region 12 Science and Math. coordinator, is actively planning her next step to get more of the Region 12 teachers the information Lee and Michelle presented at the meeting.
