JFK Council #52 Website
UPDATED Sept 25, 2006
Dear Council 52 members,
We have been talking for some time about the possibility of a Council 52 "RUPA" website where we can put announcements, give news of people we know, etc. The problem has been that we did not have the funds to afford such a luxury. My daughter is a web designer and she suggested to me that my London site was only using a fraction of the space I was paying for. Why did I not donate some of that extra space to our RUPA group. So here we are.
This site is for you. At this time the only way to get something on it is to email it to me and I will put it up. I am happy to do it. So please send me news, photos, anything you like. The links we develop from this site will stay internal and never go to the commercial portion of London Apartment Vacation .com. No one else will be able to access this portion of the site from the main commercial site. These pages are exclusively dedicated to RUPA 52.
We had a very special group of pilots at JFK and it would be a shame to loose touch. And as we get older these good memories are going to mean more and more. Ed DeChant

Historical notes about JFK members and friends
Most flight offices had a special person in office administration, Danny was - and still is - one of the all time favorites of the New York based pilots. I am sure that Danny and Alice would appreciate any cards and letters you have time to send. Danny and Alice McGuiness, 4 Jesse Drive, E. Northport, NY 11768 - Telephone # is: 631/261-0892.
New Section of our Web Site Started---Pilots Forum
I am going to add this section to our website because of the numerous emails I have received like this one where individual pilots express their concerns and opinions regarding the things that are and will affect us as a group. Please feel free to contribute whatever is on your mind. If nothing else it gives us a chance to vent.
