Sorry, but I hit the wrong button. Ruben's last name is Zelwer.

This is preliminary information of a fatality at Airsailing Glider Port,
27
mile north of Reno, NV on Saturday, May 8, 2004:

Ruben Sewer had a premature termination from tow and, while returning to
the
runway, suffered a fatal accident for reasons yet to be determined.

I would guess that Ruben had over 500 hours in gliders.

We are all in a state of shock. This is the first fatality since the early
70's at this great gliderport.
