announcement Ron Attwood - Member of the Month for April

[Tom Allensworth 1,532]

We take a great deal of pleasure in announcing that Ron is our Member of the Month for April. At 71 years young, Ron was unanimously voted in by the forum staff of AVSIM as our April MOTM. Ron has contributed both in the forums and as a re-painter of his favorite a/c of the moment, providing downloads in the library to hundreds of fans around the world. Ron's dry wit and acerbic (cough) view of the world has been both entertaining and enlightening to all of us. As a flatlander in the U.K., Ron is both a true friend and a serious contributor to our hobby and our pleasure. Congratulations Ron!

 

P.S. Anybody but me notice that his hats have disappeared in his image and now his hair is somewhat darker than his beard? You would have thought that a re-painter of Ron's stature would have at least used the color picker to also repaint his beard to match his 30'ish looking hair piece. :Thinking: 

 

See the citation and read the note on the MOTM notice at the bottom of the Forum Index Page.

What is this an April Fools joke..... :lmao:

 

Just Joking my friends. Congratulations Ron. I agree it has been fun hanging out with you on here. You have a great sense of humour.

 

All the best

I thought Ron's award of MOTM on this date was rather, well, appropriate. :Nerd:

Acerbic eh? Ah!  How strange that being 'acerbic' in one forum gets you Brownie points and on another it could get you BANNED! :blink:

 

Thank you very much for this magnificent honour. My mother, had she been alive, would have been proud. My wife, who IS alive, is not so easily impressed. :(

 

I'll try not to let it change me.

 

Cheers, Ron

P.S. Is the colour OK? :wink:

Well Done, Ron. Thoroughly deserved. And everything Tom has said in his opening post, is spot-on.

Richly deserved.  Hair is overrated.
