Don Neidert has worked very hard on the Louise Timken Library. He helped clean the floor for the carpet, patch the walls for drywall, paint the walls, install the bookcases, cut and install the corner pieces for the bookcases, clean and paint the doors, and make the sign outside the library. Thank You Don for all your hard work. We really appreciate your effort.
If you ask Director/Crew Chief Kent Kleinknecht how the day went? He would say, “It was a Great Day at MAPS.” You see, Kent has been trying to open the canopy of the F-101F for several weeks and today he was able to accomplish his mission.
Directors Keith Swinehart and Kent Kleinknecht along with many other members tried to “crack” the cockpit. Great Job Guys!

Special Thank You goes out to all of the members who volunteered to support the Canton Hot Rod Show. We had a lot of interested visitors and positive responses to our displays.
Thank You! ……….. to all the Members who have dedicated the last 4 months to the renovation of the Louise Timken Library, especially Jerry Ramey and Dale Cox. The carpet was installed last week as as soon as they could walk on it, the members started installing bookcases and Barb Johnston, Mary Ann Cameron and Terry Harriman started moving the books. Great Job goes out to everyone who contributed to this very important addition to MAPS.
Thanks goes out to a group of MAPS Members and Wayne Knoll for taking the time to coordinate the pickup of the BT-13 and the A-26. These aircraft are owned by MARC and will be restored and displayed at MAPS.
We would also like to recognize the G&K Company for their support and guidance regarding the transportation of these aircraft. Great Job Guys.
