I would, however, like to encourage you to do exactly what you said you would do!
My prior statement is just another bridge further down the road. Do what you said you would, and G-d willing, you will be able to build a bridge to the next level up. May not be the one you thought ... you’ll see. Godspeed!
Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks for the encouragement!
Yesterday I talked with the president of the local Chamber of Commerce. Ended up getting invited to the “Future Economy Council” meeting later this month. Today he sent me a documents with the cumulative notes from previous meetings. Great ideas being tossed around!
Today I visited the North Carolina Center for Engineering Technologies, sponsored by Appalachian State University. The NCCET is located in a former fiber optic cable R&D building donated by Corning after the plant was closed. Excellent facilities, very helpful people, but under utilized. We talked about getting publicity via the local AM Talk radio station and the “community channel” on local cable TV. I also learned that they have Summer Engineering Tech camps for kids starting with Grades 3 thru 5! WOW!
From there I visited the offices of VisionAire, a company working on certification and start of production for the Vantage VA-10 Very Light Business, jet right here in Hickory & Newton, NC. In addition to making an economical, efficient BizJet they have stated in promotional literature that their goals including providing jobs for our region and getting school children interested in aviation and manufacturing careers!
Overall, an excellent two days! Thanks for the encouragement, Folks! Get out there a shake the bushes in your own location. Encourage the folks working to turn things around.
Semper Fi!
