My good friend Mike Shaver was killed in a plane crash a couple weeks after AirVenture 2018.
Mike worked as an Antiques judge for about 27 consecutive years, traveling to OSH from CA. with his wife Eleanor (who vas a volunteer at the red barn).
As all the judges do, he spent his OSH week working in the hot sun/rain, whatever to make VAA what it is.
I have not see any mention of his passing or a thank you for his service in the VAA magazine.
I have written a letter to the editor and emailed VAA asking just for a mention and thank you to Mike and Eleanor in the magazine, I have gotten no response at all. If I missed it in an issue, please tell me what month it was.
Is this asking too much of VAA?
