Bill Schweizer, the last of the three brothers who founded Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, has passed away. Here is a link to his obituary: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sta...098&fhid=13269
Bill gave a lot to our sport and always loved being around glider people.
The last time I saw him was at the 75th anniversary of SAC. When I walked up to say hi he said "Hello Hank- what's the count now?" , referring to how many Schweizer gliders we have brought back from the dead. This was a running "joke" between us. I updated him and told him we had a couple more candidates. He replied "get back to work and keep 'em alive".
He was very proud of what the Schweizer brothers had done for us, and rightly so.
Soar High Bill
