I wanted to let you know that we did sell Rob's truck, to Walter Whiteside, a hang glider pilot from the San Francisco area. He called us as soon as he saw the story in the Oz Report, and then followed the link to our news item. He flew down today and picked it up, and is now on his way back to the Bay Area. The Oz Report really works!

There has been a change in location for the church memorial service for Rob on Saturday, September 6th, at 10:30 AM:

Rob’s Memorial Service will now be held at:

The Rock Community Church
23705 Via Del Rio
Yorba Linda, CA 92887

The church is located only a short distance from the previously announced location, so any travel plans or motel reservations you have made should still work fine.

I was thumbing through old HG magazines, and came across this brilliant centerspread by Mark Vaughn. It was in the May 1997 issue, and shows Rob Kells at the Morningside glide angle contest.

I learned this trick from Dustin. Showed it to a couple of pilots in Lakeview. An easier way to tension / detension gliders.

Support from Wills Wing

The other day I praised Kraig Coomber for his great support for a pilot flying a Wills Wing glider (me) and the whole point was to be positive about the great people we have in our sport. What I didn't mention, because I couldn't, was that Rob Kells would have been here to support us, but couldn't because he and Trish had gone to Austria for one last attempt to recover from the disease that was eating him up inside.
