I hope my daughter takes an interest (she's two now). It sure is great to
see families enjoying the flying, the working and the cameraderie of the
gliderport.

Hi all,

thank you very much for your contributions on the issue of
youth/family memberships. I guess I am just dealing with some odd-ball
geezers and I am glad to hear that other groups take a more pro-active
role in supporting young (minor) pilots.
As for Brent's comment: I can confirm that is very satisfying as a
parent to see ones son or daughter take an inteest in the activity you
love. I had my son sitting in the back seat when he was four or five.
Then he was sitting in the front seat. Now he is sitting in the 1-26
across the thermal trying to outclimb his old man! My daughter is
showing interest too and I just hope that we can resolve the family
membership issue in our club by the time she is old enough to take
lessons.
