Comment from Glen Boyd reference the Event:

Hello Frank:

I hope there'll be many comments in your "News" section from the pilots who participated in the PEI Labor Day Fly-In.

Your initiative and effort in making it happen speaks volumes about your dedication to promoting this form of recreational aviation. N.B., N.S., and Ontario pilots had the opportunity to renew friendships or make new ones, and to share experiences; and all because of you.

The "Hospitality Suite" you and your gracious wife Johanne hosted daily in front of your motor home was a real oasis.

My personal thanks are that, aside from your invitation to attend, you were there to provide "moral support" in getting me in the air for my most memorable cross-country flight to date.

In a word, "Well done, sir."

- Glen
