Beyond flight simulation

Very Worthwhile Activities We're all big fans of flight simulation. We find it to be a very worthwhile way to share our passion for aviation. Of course, there are many other worthwhile activities and we'd like to point out a few of these organizations whose aims and goals are also quite important.

Tim Dickens' Family International Rett Syndrome Association

Tim Dickens is the Managing Editor of Flight Simulator World Magazine and one of our prime software developers. Tim, his wife Barb and his family have just experienced a tremendous loss. Their daughter Amanda passed away recently. We would like extend our prayers and deepest sympathies to Tim and Barb Dickens and their family. Amanda suffered from Rett Syndrome. If you would like to support an international organization that is dedicated to finding a cure for this disease on Amanda's behalf, please send your contributions to International Rett Syndrome Association.

W.W.A.S.P.

Creating Family Unity through Education, Growth and Change The World Wide Association of Specialty Programs is an association of residential programs designed for teens who are struggling in their home, school, or community. If you have been "severely challenged" by your teenage son or daughter, you may want to consider one of the family-centered programs as an alternative to the mental health, legal and/or criminal justice system. Contact WWASP.
