Looking for Multi-Generational Soaring Families!!!!!!!!

Kent and Vaughn, et al
YES I want more information...names and dates of first flight or solo.
Anyone that WANTS to be active again in Soaring, or came about it in an
unusual way! please get the information to me!

You would not believe the huge response! The response has been so
large, that I am now compiling a "registry", and hope to have a
register available for the convention in February. I have received so
many WONDERFUL stories, and I want to include every single one of them!
Spread the word. I can't tell you how much fun I had reviewing web
pages from Burt Compton's Dad, and one lady who was a member of the
Harvard Soaring Club in 1932! GREAT stuff, especially the story about
someone's first glider ride being in utereo! Can't get any better than
that! I especially liked the one wher a soaring school wrote about 5
generations starting with him! (A soaring pilot for 60 years!)

I am a third generation glider pilot and soon to be the 3rd CFIG. My
grandfather, Fred Robinson is still an active instructor and owner of
Great Western Soaring School in Llano Ca. Fred was also awarded by the
FAA "Master Pilot" for over 50 years of save flying.

Hey, anyone who has a Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, Grandparent, ANYBODY that
gave you the "urge" to soar. Or if you are a Dad or Mom, that have
your kids crewing for you (Sam Giltner should pay attention here!) I
am looking for names and contacts. I am trying to put together a
"registry" for a session at the Convention called "generations in
Soaring". I know from the racing/competition arena there are lots and
lots! Anybody that knows anybody, or if you are a soaring kid
yourself, please send me an e-mail! Also, let's not forget Spratt's
Brats, or those that are well-trained ground crews, and SCUM members!

Janine this means you! Ken, Danny, Mike this means you! John S. this
means you! Tommy B. this means you! Peter S. this means you!
Aland A, this means you and your daughter Amelia! The Beardens, the
Lattimores. I think that gives you an idea of what I am looking for!

I am trying to put together a little "something" about the grand
family tradition in this sport. I just got an e-mail from a lady
today, whose father was a participant in the 1932 soaring contest in
Harris Hill. Wow! send all you know about
kids/parents/nieces/nephews/grandparents, etc. to

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
