Motion: Dan Poynter as Honorary member of U.S. Hawks

Dan traveled to interview hundreds of people to form his class book Hang Gliding.

Then he published book Kiting (on tow-launched hang gliding)
His years of parachute work and skydiving included published the tome The Parachute Manual.
He flew hang gliders as well; photo of his flying a hang glider is in one of his books.

Well (my mom said that is a deep subject), it looks like the motion passes.
TB needs yet confirmation of the president. : )

Yes, three in favor and Joe Faust hasn't voted yet. Would you care to make it unanimous before we publish it?    ;)

My vote:   Yes  
(I thought making the motion sufficed for a yes vote; I may need to brush up on my Robert's Rules of Order. I guess now that the vote is an item in itself. So, I vote now.)
Is the chairman ready to close the voting?

As I recall, Bill is still our Chairman, and since he voted yes, and since it is unanimous among our Board members, I think it's safe to say that it has passed.    :thumbup:

Anyone wanting to make additional comments is free to do so. Thanks for a great motion Joe, and thanks to all Board members for 100% participation.
