For the record...

Another longish post-

First, I greatly appreciate this thread. I get very little direct feedback
from members on magazine content. It is easy to complain, harder to
constructively critique, harder yet to be a part of the improvement
process.

Snip...
I, too, long for the days when Dick Johnson provided his test reports of
the latest and greatest, or when Bob Whelan was writing his monthly tech
articles... Snip...

Even though I'm about as minimalist a soaring pilot as can be found I, too,
enjoyed ==Bill Collum's== "Soaring Tech" monthly-for-a-long-time, articles.
For multiple reasons, I was amazed he was able to keep it going for so long on
a regular basis.


Editor, Soaring Magazine


Communication's a two-way street. Great to receive thoughtful, comprehensive,
seriously informative feedback from ye Editor of a national organization's
magazine on RAS. Thank you! ("Soaring" magazine is still treasured by many
recipients other than me, I'm sure [reading from a glowing screen has a
different resonance than from printed pages].)
