AMA thanks the thousands of members who participated in the recent letter-writing campaign regarding the draft Compatibility Determination involving Free Flight modeling activities at Shawangunk Refuge—the former West Point Army Training Facility at Galeville, New York.
Thanks also to the Leader Members and officers of clubs in the Northeast who made an outstanding effort in relaying our request for help to as many members as possible in such a short period.
AMA's official response, in addition to our comments, was filed with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service by the February 8, 2002 deadline.
