Their most frequent destination is Oakland Airport for their visits to San
Francisco.
Peter's first event as Southwest Section Chair, was a fly-in to Napa. That
weekend started with heavy rain and low visibility. Every one drove in,
hence we had the Napa Drive In. In the years that followed, we had the
Golden Gate fly-in to OAK to visit San Francisco and a Rotarian hosted tour of
the USS Hornet. Grand Canyon fly-in on a clear Friday only to find our
planes covered in snow the next morning. During that trip, we visited the
Lockheed Constellation used by President Eisenhower then stationed at Valle
Airport. We hosted numerous fly-ins for the AOPA West Coast Expos at Palm
Springs and Long Beach. Shirley and I hosted sixty IFFR members worldwide
for a fellowship dinner at our home during the 2008 Rotary Convention in Los
Angeles. We had fly-ins to Watsonville to offer children and parents
airplane ride over Santa Cruz.
Peter is an Electronic Engineer and audio is his calling. He served as

Godfather 2. Peter was Director of Asia Pacific Operation for Altec
