Lift on March issue headline has just posted:
Special notice, March 16, 2009
==> Fly into this, will you?
Do you have a friend with a web site where a similar notice may be posted?
So far, re: Brad, I only asked a rhetoric question following someone at HangGliding.org posting something about an impeachment item that I have yet to find; so I asked: "Where is it...? As yet, I have not enough to know whether or not Brad has represented the members in balance yet on particular points, as Heather leads us in that discussion. I wish Brad the best. And I am remaining open to learn more.
Brad's long-enduring blessing of hang gliding in flying and service are a treasure in my annals. Controversy can have its positive fruits. The Hass letter will bring some good fruit. I will be studying the matter and see if I might help in some way. I like Heather's suggestions, as she works within the system.
What I do have solidly is a steady respect for Bob K.'s communications that have come across my desk. I have no presumption over what has yet to come through my view; and I have not yet anything close to any full file on the Torrey site needs. To the moment, I would want the quality of energy that Bob K. radiates.
The Hass letter seems full of nuances that may hurt our USHPA, regardless of the Torrey matter per se.
My postings at SHGA and in Lift and at HangGliding.org forum are to help bring discussion over the letter to Bob K. from Hass. The final balancing act in the Soaring Council for Torrey is another matter.

The tensions at Torrey might happen elsewhere; I hope that Hass does not send out any more such radical cutting notes to other RDs.

Help fellow club and site face a letter.
