Charlie gave much more than he got out of supporting soaring in such a
great volunteer effort . All who knew him and his wonderful wife Micki will greatly miss the "Minner Team" . My sincere condolences to Micki. Again a huge thankyou to Charlie for his role in gliding for so many years . Ron (ZA) |

In Memoriam: Charlie "Lite" Minner
I am so sad to hear about the loss of Charlie. He was a nice man and he did
so much for our sport. I had the pleasure of rooming with Charlie at a soaring contest in Albert Lea a few years ago. That was a great chance to get to know him better - I enjoyed that. He talked a lot about how lucky he was to be married to Micki. He did a great job as CD of the contest. God bless all those that mourn his loss. Paul Remde "susanmcallister" wrote in message ...

Charlie and Micki were both very welcoming and accepting of a newbie
like me to the soaring & contest scene, when I first met them at the ABQ Convention. And I may not have seen eye-to-eye with Charlie on a couple of contest decisions, but overall he and Micki ran a great contest in Logan last year and I sincerely appreciate their dedication to the sport! Many thanks to you both, and I hope Micki feels the support of her soaring brethren through these difficult days. --Noel |

In Memoriam: Charlie "Lite" Minner
I first met Charlie "Lite" when I was CD as the 1997 Region 9 no
contest at Owl Canyon. The contest manager presented me with this 'character' to run the gate. Over the course of four straight rain days, I got to know Charlie pretty well. Lots of story telling, some beer, and those days, he still played the guitar and sang. Like Paul Remde, over the years I shared hotel rooms with Charlie, talked on the phone periodically, and visited when possible. You just couldn't help but admire the tenacity of the man. He gave so much to soaring. I miss him already. That's one thing I like about the SSA. You get to know such fine people. My sympathies to Micki and family. Frank Whiteley |

I am dumbfounded. I thought Charlie was on the mend and was looking
forward to flying with him this year. He was and is a class act. He will be sorely missed. Big hugs to Micki and family. Randy "AV8" |
