Skout Krogh

On January 7th, 2008, Skout Krogh, a three-year-old Dickinson native, went to St. Joseph’s Hospital with unusual bruising and pale skin. After some testing at St. Joseph’s Hospital she was rushed to Bismarck. She was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic Leukemia and was air-lifted to a children’s’ hospital in Minneapolis Minnesota. After more testing, including a spinal tap, Doctors inferred that Skout was lucky! The Leukemia hasn’t spread to her spine or brain. On Wednesday January 9th, 2008, Skout underwent her first treatment of Chemo therapy.

Skout will be traveling to Bismarck, ND two times a week for the next two years for Chemo treatment. Doctors believe that Skout is well on her way to reacquiring her health. She will literally be on the road to a full recovery.

A 50/50 raffle at the Dickinson High School hockey game held on January 29th, 2008, with proceeds going to the family. There will also be spaghetti feed/silent auction/bake sale held on February 12th at the Eagles Club in Dickinson with proceeds going to Skout and her family to help defray medical and traveling costs. The spaghetti feed will run from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm and it will cost $6.00 for an adult and $4.00 for children 12 and under.

There has been an account set up for Skout at the Dakota Community Bank for people interested in donating. If interested, please make check payable to DCFS and put Skout Krogh in the memo box on the check. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Please help Skout by forwarding this information to everyone in your address book. If your able to please print a poster to post at your office, school or church.

Thank you!

There is Hope!

MSMAC’s Skids UP Funfly Report

4:39 pm

July 13-15th was the stage for Missouri Slope Model Aircraft Club’s 4th Annual Skids UP helicopter funfly.  Weather was awesome and so was the flying.  About 20 pilots were registered, some of which were plank flyers but put on a great show none the less.

We had our fill of buffalo wings on Friday night to start things off and fuel up for a action packed and event filled say Saturday.  Lots of flying and some impressive demos from Troy and the Century Swift and Freestyle.  Tony also showed us the maxamps batteries for the t-rex are also a very good cell and pack a punch.  We also took some pictures from our helicopter camera ship of Tony flying his 40% Yak in some great air to air photo sessions!

Thanks for a great weekend!

Williston Funfly Report

4:28 pm

Well the weekend was a great one for flying.  Saturday offered a little wind and some cloudy skies to combat the high heat that was forcast for the weekend making it a fun day for flying.  Pilots from Terry, MT., Glendive, MT., Minot, Lignite, Dickinson, Grassy Butte and Williston were on hand to put on a good bit of flying!  Thanks for a great weekend!
