Sun & Fn 2009 from Patty Wagstaff by Patty Wagstaff
Sun & Fun, our second show of the year, was fun, busy, exhausting, productive. The week started with the premier of "Over Africa" a documentary by Miles O'Brien of our Kenya Wildlife Service recurrency training program and made possible by the Lindbergh Foudation (www.lindberghfoundation.org) who generously supported this year's efforts.

You are going out onto an airport. So there aren’t benches to sit on. If you want to sit on something...
