Eric,
Perhaps you didn't notice that you and Bob Morse were some of my earliest prized soaring mentors.
I closely watched your equipment choices, often then bought the same, and was never disappointed.
I always remember Bob when spreading mayo on my sandwich and add a touch more.
I'm absolutely sure you like me will ever be soaring in your mind.
Studying the clouds and the sky - where's the heat; where's the lift; the sink; the winds; how's it gonna' change; streets? how to use them?
Checking the fields while traveling - could I land in that field; which direction, slip?; trees; wires; slope?
Meet you at Cloudbase* with Paul, Norman, Nelson, and all our precious soaring friends,
Roy
