I am a student occupational therapist (and lapsed glider

I would be grateful if anyone with a disability who
has experienced gliding or is a glider pilot, who is
willing to relate the benefits for themselves of engaging
in the sport, could contact me at .

Many thanks for any help that can be given


I flew in a couple of Region 9 contests in the late '80s where a chap
named Terry Frazier was a contestant; he was missing both legs, and
had appropriate devices in his ship. It carried a logo of some
organization that worked with disabled people, but I can't remember
its name. Perhaps you could look Terry up through SSA.
