has been bed-ridden most of his life with recurrent attacks of
rheumatic fever. But that hasn't dampened his enthusiasm for
model airplane building which he does with such skill that last

D etroit against a field of several hundred contestants. IV ith
plans fo r another entry this year, Ronnie tells in this s, ries of
