Awesome! Congratulations, Joe! If there was a Hang Gliding Hall of Fame, I'd expect to see him in that as well. Think of it...he SURVIVED the '70s and is STILL turning everyday (debatable) people into foot launched pilots!!
Congrats Joe, well deserved. I can't think of a person who cares more about the future of Hang Gliding, does more to protect/ensure the continuation of the sport, or gives as selflessly and as tirelessly as you. You represent the spirit and heart of Hang Gliding and I think Sylmar owes you a huge debt of gratitude for all you've done for our site. I'm grateful I get to learn from you, and really glad to call you friend...
Absolutely deserved and long overdue. One of the best human beings I've met in or out of hang gliding. I'd probably be dead if not for the things he's taught me. I never saw Joe when he wasn't doing something to help either the club or someone in it. Awesome dude.
