Default I want my SSA

The future home of Der Amerikanische Segelfliegergruppe or whatever
you want to call it should be close to where soaring is, preferably
year round.
Denver is as close to the middle of the country as you can get with a
decent sized active-year-round flying community and airline choices. A
similar organization to ours, the United States Hang Gliding
Association, relocated their offices to Colorado Springs. They could be
consulted as to how their choice of location has worked out.
I like the closet at Harris Hill idea. And the E-Magazine. This
brought up...
In this age of wireless connectivity, why not put the office in a
trailer. Park it at Harris Hill or the USHGA parking lot. Then it could
be towed to contests, conventions, flying camps, instructor clinics,
etc. Hire the excellent services of Charlies Spratt and Minner to put
the office where we are, flying.
So the staff would be a band of gypsies. What are the rest of us,
bouncing from contest to contest in RVs with trailers behind? I'll be
living in an RV for the next two weeks, working at 10 places throughout
Scandinavia. Keeps things interesting.
