THE FIRST EB MEETING      So frequently we are asked: who attended the first EB meeting, where was it held, and when? You also might like to have this information, so we are listing below the time, place, attendance, and officers on that first occasion.      The meeting was held in Chicago on that famous date in history --- December 17, 1928 --- the 25th anniversary of the first Wright flight at Kittyhawk.   On hand and elected to membership were;

*Ernie Jones *Capt. Horace Wild Logan A. "Jack" Vilas *Richard H. Depew, Jr. Ivan J. Gates *Col. Chas. de F. Chandler

*P. G. B. Morris Capt. J. F. deVillard *Anthony H. B. Fokker Dr. H. W. Walden Chas. Dickerson Marjorie Stinson

Richardson, Treasurer *E. L. Jones, Secretary   Governors *R. H. Depew, Jr. Raffe Emerson *Earle Ovington Dr. H. W.
