Former Secretary Peter Ament died

22. Feb 2008

I'm sorry, but it is my sad duty to inform you, that Peter Ament died. He was one of the "fathers" of NFIA, started in the mid 90th, writing the Class Rules, Articles and preparing foundation of our Association. From 1996 he was Secretary and Treasurer in NFIA's board until Summer 2007, where Bernard Turner took over his job.

We all will miss him.
