Politics in Song
That was hilarious Doug!!! Thanks! Here's a blast from my own past. I think it was the 1972 Presidential election (Nixon v. McGovern), and I had commandeered my Dad's reel to reel tape machine to record music off the radio. I happened to capture a song that went something like this: A candidate went...

Joe Greblo, Here's your Proof ...
I really enjoyed the SHGA meeting yesterday, and I particularly enjoyed a long discussion with Joe Greblo about a number of topics. One of the topics that came up was the renewal of the Torrey Hawks. Joe Greblo commented that he thought our renewal was denied due to some kind of membership counting ...

There's no need to argue Jonathan. The facts will make themselves evident in time. For example, just four weeks ago today, the 47th Anniversary Otto Lilienthal Reunion was hosted at Dockweiler by the U.S. Hawks Hang Gliding Association and the Friends of Dockweiler Gliding Society . Erika herself a...

Great Meeting Saturday
Hello Fellow Hang Gliding Enthusiasts, I'm just writing to thank the club for a good meeting and a kind and welcoming reception during my visit (and Joe Faust's visit) yesterday. It was great to see so many old friends again, and even great to see some old enemies again. We should never take anythin...

It’s all right there. If you don’t have it, we can provide you with another copy. O.K. Please provide it right here and we'll see if it cites any of my actual words that were found to be in violation. Justice requires a number of things including: 1. Objective rules. 2. Citation of specific conduct...

General Discussion of Forum Banning (continued)
To Moderator: I began a post in "General Discussion of Forum Banning" to reply to Marshal and then didn't make the post. I think that "confused" the forum software and now it won't allow me to post in that topic (it might think I'm in the middle of another post). The following p...

Re: Friends/Senior Program details
Come then to find out more about this idea, bring your questions, and tell me how you'd like to pitch in to help me set this up. I think it's a super idea Frederick!! The Friends of Sylmar Hang Gliding program sounds like a very appropriate (and "friendly") name. :D It also reminds me of ...

I was recently disappointed to find that I had been banned from the Sylmar Forum for 30 days. This was communicated to me by way of Ken Andrews well after the ban had been implemented. I am disappointed for a number of reasons, but most notable was the fact that it was done without citing any actual...

It was an informative interview: 9,000 regular (presumably long-term) members and 30,000 - 35,000 temporary members every year. If you do the math it explains their fierce protection of the tandem joy ride business. Joe Faust is right that the middle guy misrepresented the future of hang gliding wit...
