Hi Don,

I'm so new that newbi makes me sound old. My brother and I just finished
16 of 25 flights in a glider flight training program with Tom Knauff and
his lovely wife, Doris Grove at Ridge Soaring Gliderport in Julian, PA (
Knauff & Grove Soaring Supplies )).

Great story..Its nice to see you younger folks out having fun ;-). My
passion for flight is long standing and at 67 I decided if not now, when. I
have been talking to folks in eastern PA and southern New Jersey and expect
to get started soon.

I'm curious what your reading list has in it. I figure I might try to get
at least a bit book smart before I start getting stick time. Your reference
to chapter self tests sounded good to me.

Best of luck in your venture, sounds like your having fun

Chuck
