Greetings members of the Western Section,
I'm closing in on one month as WSVP and finding lots and lots of challenges in this hi paying job (smile). I try to remember that to build a bigger and stronger Western Section, cooperation and shared sacrifice is required by those of us that have this vision.
I am pleased with the positive response of energetic members accepting committee chair positions and other important leadership areas. I have attempted to involve all areas within the Western Section in the decision making process. All section club locations, Sacramento, San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area, LABU, San Diego, Phoenix, and Las Vegas are represented in some way in the administrative operation of the Western Section.
The first tournament of 2012 in the Western Section is being hosted by Aztec DBC February 17-20, in San Diego. Let each club in our section support Aztec's Grade A weekend. Let us also encourage each independent club to sponsor Grade A/B weekends in 2012 that the section members will support. Bigger and stronger requires cooperation and sacrifice. We should look at LABU as an example of the direction each club may want to steer their progress. Remember by showing support we will receive support.
Sincerely,
James Lee

A crew of African American pilots in the
Tuskegee training program, having
faced segregation while kept
mostly on the ground during World War II, are called into duty under
the guidance of Col. A.J. Bullard.
George Lucas began developing Red Tails around 1988 with a scheduled release in 1992. He compared it to Tucker: The Man and His Dream as "a story too good to be true". Thomas Carter was his original choice to direct. A number of writers worked on the project until John Ridley was hired in 2007 to write the final screenplay. Lucas held discussions with Samuel L. Jackson regarding Jackson possibly directing and acting in the film. Although Jackson praised the script, he did not commit to either role. Anthony Hemingway was finally chosen to direct in 2008. In researching the film, Lucasfilm invited some of the surviving Tuskegee Airmen to Skywalker Ranch, where they were interviewed about their experiences during World War II. Lucasfilm was also given access to the original mission logbooks used by some of the pilots
