Default Marfa soaring article in Dallas Newspaper 7/23/06

Hello to our friends in Dallas!

Writer John Pronk has done a nice article on "Marfa Gliders" in the
Sunday, July 23 edition of the Dallas Morning News. The article is
also on their webpage, but with no photos and we sure would enjoy a
hard copy for our scrapbook at Marfa.

So, before you toss today's paper, please clip and mail the article to:

Kathie & Burt Compton
PO Box 516
Marfa, TX 79843

Thanks - this long-distance (500 miles) publicity is sure boosting our
tourist rides and glider student / checkride business! Maybe we will
survive, after all. Here's the web article (but with no photos):
