Fatal accident at Ionia soaring contest

Hi,

The news media has announced the name of the pilot that was killed in a
gliding accident at the Ionia soaring contest yesterday.
http://www.fox17online.com/news/fox1...,2470761.story

It was Tim Gossfeld, contest #: PC. He has been living in Minnesota for
several years. I got to know him and his wife Lynn and his daughter Megan
at the 2010 Sports Class Nationals contest in Parowan, UT. I am deeply
saddened by this. I keep thinking of his wife and daughter. They are in my
prayers.

His daughter Megan had been taking soaring flight lessons a year or 2 ago.
It was nicely documented he

2:58.

If you knew him, please send a condolence card to the address below. I
would think that cards from soaring friends would be appreciated. I imagine
that Lynn and Megan knew how much soaring meant to Tim. They were a soaring
family.

Fly safe,

Hi,

I am deeply saddened to have just learned of a fatal accident at the Ionia
soaring contest. I don't want to post details because I don't know if the
family has been notified. Contact me for details. I am not at the contest
but have talked briefly with contest personnel.
