Sad day at SLSA by Karen
Condolences to Bill's wife, son and friends. This is one of the oldest and best clubs in all of North America. Afable people, big on safety and public service, constant promotion of soaring and people mostly interested in each other more than their own self-interests. Sorry to hear you lost your...
