Re: Katherine Yardley - Sad News

WOW! I am floored by this horrible news! My life has been enriched by her friendship and dedication to living the good life including hang gliding.

Rest in peace Katherine. I will miss you!

I am going to miss N6AUE! :(

He helped me out many times over the last 27 years. Always had a kind word. Too soon for him to go.

Thanks Ken. But I don't sing or dance so I am up against some very tough competition. I do however work my butt off for the club so maybe that will be an equalizer Interesting that the running DAL group includes 3 GA pilots.

The pavilion, club financial status, and our future

Wow, never in my 23 uninterrupted years of membership have I seen this much contention and unrest among the general membership. And mostly it saddens me greatly as everyone that is or has been in the club I consider my friends. Many of you newer members do not know me well as currently I am content ...

Barbara and I were doing the newsletter then. At least we had plenty to write about. The outcome from that flood was all pretty good, all things considered. And repaired in very short order. Thanks for the memory.

My first post ever on this forum and on a subject which I hate to talk about. Having a cold beer at the end of a wonderful flight (or even a bad one) is something that I have always cherished.
