After the longest, coldest and most windy Spring that anyone can remember in the Tri-Cities, Summer finally appeared just in time for the Tri-Cities Radio Controlled Modelers (TCRCM) Sun & Fun Pattern Meet.  With the great weather, the meet was run through its full 6 rounds for the 25 contestants.

Trophies were awarded to the top 3 spots in the Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced and Masters classes, with TCRCM members pulling a substantial number of win, place or show spots.  Steve Sterling got a 3rd place in Sportsman, Bill Bowen took the 1st place and Dennis Cone took 3rd place Trophies in Advanced, and Terry Hane beat out the ever-so-sultry Joan Anastasio with a 2nd place in Masters.

Below are some great photos taken by Ted Meier of the event.   Also following are the overall standings.
