Chuck,
Real easy, Use the small-regular- Quaker Oats Oatmeal tubes. They are
cardboard. Take the top and bottom off. Cut the tube down both sides.
Stuff some paper in the bottom enough to make a plug. Tape the sides up
using scotch tape NOT duck tape. Just put two pieces accross the spit
not the length. Fill the tube with your friend. It will take more
than one tube. Put some paper in the top with just a little tape in a
couple of places to hold the paper. These things are a little on the
weak side so treat carefully. They will fit out most glider windows
and will open in the air if you have not over taped. If you release
them in a thermal the ashes and paper will climb up in the core. We
did this for Louis Stur in Sun Valley. There were six of us fllying
and he out climbed us to cloudbase.

of various ash scattering scenes from the movies come
to mind - scenes that I do not wish to reenact.
