When Wichita businessman Jack DeBoer spoke at the Wichita Aero Club’s July 13 event at Wichita Air Services, he detailed his use of airplanes in the conduct of his highly successful business ventures, citing a number of examples from his book, Risk Only Money. The Aero Club offered copies of the volume for sale after the presentation and promptly sold out! If you’d like to order a copy for only $20–well below the retail price in bookstores–you can do so by calling the Aero Club office at 681-4471. We’ll be acquiring a limited additional quantity in the near future. As with the purchases at the July 13 event–and for every book sold–all proceeds will go to support World Vision.
The reception, which was attended by 100 people despite the 100 degree heat, also honored WAC Stimpson Scholarship winner Karen Morrison of Kansas State University-Salina. Ms. Morrison also flew in the recently-concluded Women’s Air Race Classic. Three members of the KSU-Salina faculty were also in attendance and Textron Aviation also displayed its newly-certified Citation Latitude. It was the first time the latest addition to the Citation fleet had been shown publicly in Wichiita.
