Madison's absence from the article on local squadron histories was not meant as a slight. The problem is that they've never really had any identity, any defining events or any newsletter or web site that communicates anything to the outside world and since I don't live there I don't know enough of their history to write it.
If some kind soul from Madison would jot down some of the basics about the group's history I'd love to include them.

And just as a reminder it was a Madison squadron member, Martin Stever, who brought back the team tourney in the 80's

I'd be glad to have anything you guys could offer on Madison. And if we've missed any other local squadrons, please let me know.

That's ok, you missed the HP flight too, but I wasn't sure if it was intentional or if you just lumped us in with the rest of the Indy group because our run was very short. |

It was not intentional... to be honest I'd just completely forgotten to include HP. Maybe I overlooked them due to the close association with Indy... sorry. I'd love to have a few paragraphs on the group and its history.
Everyone - please don't hesitate to point out potential omissions or errors such as HP or Madison. That's exactly why it was published in ISD prior to being included in the Society Resources section... I need the additional info that you guys can provide. This has never been done before so there are bound to be things that need fixing.

The good news is that I've had a lot of comments on this article and its generated a more interest than I anticipated.

Scott Campbell posted the Freikorps site. A year or two ago he asked for an update and I can't remember if I replied. Then he moved . The unposted highlites of the later years can be sent to you but I don't know if you can add them to the site. I don't know how to do it either.

I don't know how to get into that site, but I'd like the unposted champion data to update our International Champions Archive so please send them anyway.
