• Chris,
  Your Dad was super amongst us. And I knew you most young. Your Dad was ever gracious, friendly, sharp, and a Wright-like hang glider builder.
  
  Your Dad let me fly his modified Icarus II in Venice Beach on small berm; photo got into the Santa Monica Star News.  And I helped you and your Mom and Dad put the glider together at the Torrance Beach Turkey Fly that I sponsored.
  Your Dad spawned a lithographic printing business after seeing what I did from scratch to become for hang gliding a lithographer.
  
  I was in your Dad and Mom's Pasadena printing office. They supplied T-shirts and bumper stickers featuring my Self-Soar Association logo of wind-lifted man in flight. He was top man and glider in the four-color centerfold Photo-Fly photograph that I arranged where the pioneers were assembled to show pilot and glider on a hill in Norco, California.
  
  I have returned to publishing hang gliding. My first decade with Low & Slow and Hang Glider had several mentions of your Dad. May I share your notes to the hang glider world without Mom's contact and without your contact, as you direct?
  
  Original historian Neil Larson is active again with me in some publishing efforts.
  One of several efforts:     See: Lift via http://HGAusa.com 
  
  This is cc to Neil Larson who also probably saw you as a toddler. Neil has some photos of early meeting with your Dad at executive table.
  Soon,
  Lift,
