The purpose of our presence at the Carnival is to share with the
community our common history in the loss of ARIA 328 and the
history of the Advanced Range Instrumentation Aircraft Program. We
informed the community of the construction of the ARIA 328 Memorial and
provided them a way to participate in supporting the Memorial.
Many of you shared with us the events of 6 May 1981 and showed us how
important it is to construct the ARIA 328 Memorial. The monetary support
that was given is truly appreciated. For me, the high point in the week
was when a Boy Scout from the local Troop inquired to what he could do to
help in the construction of the Memorial. I will be contacting him and his
Troop leader in the coming days.
I want to thank the representatives of a number of organizations that
stopped by that want to help with the construction of the Memorial. I want
to thank the Walkersville Fire Department for supporting the construction
of the ARIA 328 Memorial and for supplying us a great spot at the
Carnival.
Face painting and Balloon creations for Memorial Donations were provided
by Melody, Sarah, and Christen Losey.
