Butler introduced Ray Beaudreaux, Director of
Aviation at the Fayetteville
City Airport. Ray informed us that 2003 was a great year for the airport,
and that they have made serious advancements in changing our perception
of the airport. 2003 enjoyed a 34.5% increase in flight operations, increases
of 20.5% in fuel sales, and 27%
in revenue. Don't forget the Air Show on June

ROD Tim de Noble
introduced Richard Williams, CEO of the American Indian
College Fund. Richard let us know of the existence and plight of American
Indian institutions of higher learning. Although grossly underfunded,
many of the 34 institutions strictly for American Indians boast a 100%
graduation rate! To learn more, go to collegefund.org.
Mar 18:
ROD Jack Butt
introduced Kristen Knight, a previous outbound GSE to
Sweden. Kristen gave us a delightful and informational presentation on
her trip. For instance, Kristen told us that reindeer outnumber humans
in Sweden by 3 times! Additionally, for every tree that they cut down,
they plant 3; forest management at its best.
