    John, it appears you are confusing loyalty to individuals vs. leadership.  Please don’t put words in my mouth… I spoke with every single HG pilot in the club to campaign for a change in board leadership during a regular cycle BOD election…

    No you didn’t.

    I was a Hang glider pilot and member of CSS at the time ; Luke never spoke to me even once about this subject , and I was present at CSS a Lot prior to that last BOD election.

    And with that note clarified , I will now remove myself from this discussion ; because it’s like speaking with far Left/Right when I am an Independent, searching for common ground , (Aristotle’s meaning).

    … Dan was my Instructor and Gene was my friend… do you actually think I, or anyone, took any pleasure in the actions we had to take? …

    What exactly is the reason that Gene cannot be allowed on CSS property ; after serving the full time for the ban that  you imposed ?

    You might have sullied yourself first, Dan. In your usual fashion. In fact you were removed from the BOD during your term. The rest were voted
    out. Resoundingly.

     

    I do Not remember there being a Shade Pavilion , before
    the prior board took over ; am I mistaken ? Dan was on that board .
    I was also told that  Linda  , never once
    helped with the rebar or cement job, that was necessary for
    the construction of that Pavilion ; YEP — Dan did most of all
    the work , so are you forgetting that also ?

    I wonder why ?

    in reply to: Gone But Not Forgotten #20370

    When I first started flying Elsinore in 1977 ; we were landing on the North side of Hy-74 , and that one got shut down ; the 80’s is when the after-flying party got moved  to the Oak tree. Gonna miss that tree ; never gonna forget it though !!

    For want of a preflight, the life was lost.

    Id like to drive home ; what Dan said .

    In the mid 80’s , I borrowed a Hang glider to go flying, moments before , I’d just given my reserve to a woman to repack . The owner of the glider said he just landed ; the machine was Fine . YEA — I should not have believed him ; the side wire was twisted in the never-kink , and the tang sawed through the SS wire at near 450 AGL. I did a plummet ; I died , and got CPR’d back to life. Trust what Dan said ; being Dead , it ain’t no Fun !!

    Perhaps the new station would be less vulnerable to gun-fire ; if it was in a more inaccessible place like Cloud ? Put it back where it was ; it’s just gonna get shot at again !

    in reply to: S2 -155 Sold #20034

    The WW , S2 , 155 was my favorite Rag-wing of all time to fly ; it turns like on power steering and centered up in a thermal as easy as a Falcon. If I go back to Rags , from flying Rigids ; that is the glider I would get.
