Contest Reporting (in "Soaring" mag)

P.S. Gary - you likely don't remember it, but "some teacher from California"
was one of "those XC soaring gods" upon whom I gazed in mild awe in several
early seasons of soaring my 1-26 from Heber City in early/mid '70s. I may have
even helped pull you from a field post-midnight near (Richfield?)...can't
remember whether it was Gary K. or Gary F.

Yep, it was me, sad to say, it was east of Richfield, in Emery, Utah. I used to just take off working on records (500K at that time) and someone would agree to come for me if I landed out. Thank you Bob, I have often thought of those guys who selflessly came and got me in the middle of nowhere (turns out it was where my grandfather lived his young life). I got shot down by thunderstorms trying to get to Salina-Gunnison. What great fun. Thanks again.
