Demosthenes OLDEST PASSENGER---P. H. Reister (front) a spirited 90, was the oldest passenger among 256 people who took part in the Shelton Flight, Inc., Buddy Franklin benefit public airlift Saturday and Sunday at the airport. The flying club charg- ed two cents per pound per passenger for flights ,of about 15 minutes duration and contributed the kidney foundation. The club netted $526.50 through the airlift and in turn donated a check for that amount to the Buddy Franklin Kidney Fund this week, said Shelton Flight President Herb Vonhof, wh,o is shown behind Reister in this Journal photo. This airplane, Vonhof's four-seat Beech Bonanza, was one of six planes the flying club used for this frmn about 1,700 feet in the air, contributed $526,50 t o wa.r d the fired by taking club sponsored air- plane rides Satt~!~ay a!ld S~ay.

Of about 15 minutes duration ~a;t'='a rate of two cents per pound pe~ passenger four hours each on Sat- urday and Sunday "with every penny going to tile kidney founda- tion," said chlb president Herb Vanhof. SMALLEST PASSENGER dur- in gthe 2-day airlift was a 12-pound baby who got ~t gralld flight tout' for 24 cents. Oldest, but certainly one of the more spirited riders was P. H. Reister, 90, who of his first flight quipped with obvious enjoy- ment, "The only trouble was that the ride wasn't long enough," and then added, "but you boys may see me back here again." Six planes weft; provided by the ch|b for the event. Shelton Flight, a non-profit cor- • )oration of 30 members, is an out- growth of the Shelton squadron of the Civil Air Patrol and has con- tinued many of the activities of the CAP since the latter was deacti- vated in 1963. The private organi- zation exists to promote flying and flying safety• The club partici- pates in local and state civil de- fense operations as well as tO car- ry out air search, rescue and emer- gency missions. In recent months the club has aided in the air search for Olym- pia oysterman Robert Towner, who was drowned near Harstine Island last May; in tim search for the PUD boom truck which was stolen a few weeks ago and several oth- er aviation missions, such as checking out forest fire reports. ghelton Flight also assists the Port Commission, which owns the airport, in all types of airport mat- te,'s relating to aviation. THE FLYING CLUB was reor- ganized in 1964 after the deactiva- tion of the CAP squadron in De- cember of 1963. There had been a Shelton Flight, Inc., were drawn up in 1964 and the new 28-member club hehl its first corporation elea, tinaa in March. The first slate df officers included president, Herb Vonhof; vice president, Glen Sow- ers; secretary, Jack Howard, and treasurer, Bill Roberts. The club membership had ex- panded to its limit of 30 by the time elections for 1965 rolled around last December. Vonhof was returned as president, Tom Town- send took over as x ice presidimt, Bob Myers was elected sec|'etary and the new treasurer was Earl Moore. "We had limited ourselves to 30 members because of our limited facilities," Vonhof said. He ex- plained that the club itself owns only one airplane, a four-seat Ces- na 172, attd that membership has to be kept down to decrease the number of flight schedule conflicts among the members. Besides the club plane, nine members have their own aircraft. ABOUT TWO-THIRDS of the members of Shelton Flight are ac- tively flying either their own or the club plane, Vonhof said. AI- lessons as an organization, two of its members, Jim Donahoe and Jack Howard, have commercial li- censes and instructor ratings. Don- shoe and Howard are presently working with four student pilots in the club. and a new front-end alignment, proprietor Merv Settle now offers ear lubrication and mechanical re- pair services. He has changed the title of his I firm from Merv's Tirecap to Merv's Tire and Car- care Center. (See page 10 for further details). a set of new premium tires. He is going to hold a mystery drawing for Bud l~ranklin, the details of which you'll have to stop in and find out . . .
