I flew with him in this magic machine and since the weather prevented him from flying on to his next stop, he stayed at my house for a few days until it cleared up. We bumped into each other at the conventions here and there to 'chew the fat and swap lies'. On July 1st, I flew my un-Stemme from Montrose over the Telluride valley and gave him my fare-well salute.

I flew the photo ship (Number 7 in the flight of 7 Stemmes) from
Montrose to Telluride.Â* We formed up enroute to Ridgeway, north of the mountains from Telluride, then flew over a saddle at 14,500' MSL.Â* As we crossed the mountains, we shutdown our engines and formed a circle over the east end of town.Â* We circled several times until descending to 12,500' and then broke out in line astern to the west.Â* The last ship dropped Glider Bob's ashes over Bridal Veil Falls.Â* My wife, Patti, was on the ground and, with a borrowed camera, took the signature photo of the release of the ashes. Hopefully, you can see it he https://www.dropbox.com/s/hs9cwieg33...Ashes.JPG?dl=0 It was an honor to have been a part of that flight.
