Club members in the news

Post by Richard Hays »

Well......maybe not news. How about re-runs?

Last week MPT Outdoors Maryland ran the classic High Rock film footage. Not the original, but the one featuring Matthew, Karen, Marvin Presley, Mark Fink, Mark Cavenaugh, Eddie Miller ( the potatoe slayer ) and many more. Fun to watch again.

Also....last Tuesday, MPT Outdoors Maryland featured an old MHGA board member and pilot ( Holly Obrecht ) attempting to learn how to fly a para-motor. Holly is quite the accomplished pilot but was seemingly having a hell of a time with the powered parachute.

I've got that episode on... (wait for it...) A VCR tape, if you can believe it.
I'll have to check and see if MPT is offering it on DVD, save me the trouble of converting....

I think that the segment title was "The Valley Wind" ?

Which always makes me think of that spoof folk movie, "A Mighty Wind". :lol:

If I'm not mistaken, it won some sort of award for sound?
