The PPA Trustees met August 23, 2001
to review the nominations and select a slate of officers to present to the
membership during the September 5, 2001 scheduled meeting. Greg Washka,
current vice-President, declined to be placed in nomination due to a very
heavy workload and involvement in raising a family. He said he would like to
continue supporting the PPA and may be able to serve as an officer again in
the future. Jim Williams, our current Secretary, has recently retired from
his full time position outside of aviation and is actively pursuing a
renewed career as a corporate pilot. He now has a little more time to devote
to the PPA as an officer. Bob Tessman, current Treasurer, has served
tirelessly in many offices, including President, over the last few years and
would agree to be placed in nomination for treasurer one more time. New to
our list this year, is Scott Seibert and Greg Panzarella. Scott is currently
working as a Captain in the Casto/Pizzuti Flight department, and brings a
good working knowledge of Excel, Word, and other useful computer and
Internet skills needed in the office of Secretary. Greg Panzarella is Chief
Pilot for Bob Evans Farms and flies a Westwind based at Million Air (CMH).
He has accepted the nomination for President of PPA enthusiastically, and
from all accounts of those that know him, he is an outstanding choice for
the job.
The trustees wish to thank all of
the officers currently serving in the PPA for their efforts over this past
year. We had many good meetings and several outstanding programs. We hope to
build on that foundation this year. Jerry Eichenberger served as President
this last year during a very busy and dynamic period in his law practice.
Business travel kept him away from more meetings than he would have liked,
but he will retire from the office knowing that he left the PPA a little
stronger than when he accepted the gavel.
