Paul S. Winslow's RFC tie, an essay.

Dan_San_Abbott · 20 July 2002, 02:50 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen:
* When Paul S. Winslow died he bequeathed to me his Royal Flying Corps Tie. *When We visited with Ruth Winslow, she gave me the tie and told me, "Paul wanted you to have his RFC *tie." It was very difficult not to cry, I was so moved by his generousity.
* *I am offering Paul's RFC tie to the one who writes the best essay on Paul S. Winslow.
* *I will read all entries carefully and will pick the best essay. One question that must be answered, is what are you going to do with the tie. *Remember this is an essay about Paul S. Winslow.
* *The closing date will be 10 August 2002. *I will announce the winner on the Aerodrome Forum on *that date and ship *the tie to the winner. Good luck to all.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *Blue skies,
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Dan-San

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Patti got on my case and told me that you must give them more time to research and write their essays. So, I will move the closing date to 1 October 2002.
Blue skies,

Cool idea, Dan! I already have an RFC tie from Brandy Bryers, but this is a neat thing. Some new collectors of RFC memoribilia should jump on this opportunity.

Hi Dan-San,

I hope you received a fair amount of submissions on your essay contest. Keep us posted of who was the winner.

I think you can remove the "red tack" on this thread so it isn't always the top thread, since the deadline has passed.

Very best,
Dave
