Default Gary Osoba's record flight declined

Hmmmmm.

No sour grapes here. I've been a little out of the loop for a couple
of years when it comes to matters of officialdom. However, if you're
going to play the game, officially, you need to be up on things. I
know this from past experience, and it really is my fault for not
checking more thoroughly ahead of time. I was merely relying on past
experience. All of my dealings with Judy Ruprecht and others at the
SSA when it comes to filing official records have been quite
satisfactory, and I appreciate all of their hard work and expertise.
Judy is remarkably good. I have also had good dealings with Art
Greenfield at the NAA. It does get expensive, however. It is
disappointing regarding the Cambridge issue.

After this filight, I was urged to post it to the OLC- something I
hadn't done before. I guess I bombed out there as well, not realizing
there was a very short deadline. It was filed a couple of days late.
Again, my fault but now I know. I am curious about how this flight
would have scored properly. I couldn't find the Woodstock and so
picked a 1-26 as something close. Later, a friend wrote and said the
Woodstock can be found under M for Maupin. Does anyone have the
ability to calculate the distance and score the flight with proper
handicap from the flight log? I wonder how this flight would have
compared to others flown this past season in the OLC. I'm really
curious about this but can't figure it out from the website.

Best Regards,
Gary Osoba
