The video on the website is excellent.
The "coffin with a view comment" is destined to become a cult
classic.
It reminds me of the time I got interviewed by a local reporter about
the plant I was building for Alcoa. Alcoa banned me from ever talking
to reporters, and almost fired me. I didn't mean to say it, but I
ment what I said, comes to mind. Never underestimate the natural
ability of someone with a degree in journalism to get it almost right,
at your expense.

I know the guy who does their licensing work, should I see if he could
get a deal set up with Schempp Hirth, DG, LS, etc?

Coffin with a view, is that like what Stalin has?

Years go, when Mark Palmer was instructing at the old Black Forest, a
lady reporter came out to do an article and Mark took her up. She duly
reported that he had "the cold, blue eyes of a gunfighter". We gave
him crap for years over that...
