Default Soaring for Diamonds

Hi David,

I recently read the book too and I also really liked it. I found that I
could really relate to many of his cross-country experiences. The book is
like a trip back in time to when the Schweizer 1-23 was a very high
performance glider!

I happened upon a batch of the books a few months ago when buying other
books from Schweizer. They had about 6 of the books that were new, but had
been sitting on a shelf for years and looked quite faded. I bought all the
books they had remaining and sold the last one a few weeks ago - except the
one that I kept for my collection. I wish I could get more of them. I
imagine used copied could be found using Amazon. I mention that in case
anyone reading this thread wants to find a copy.

Good Soaring,

Right, hope I've got the right forum this time...

Hi,

Just finished reading the above book - what a great
story of early gliding in the US, what a guy.

Can anyone tell me what Mr Joseph Colville Lincoln
is doing
these days, where he lives, is he still involved in
gliding? Is he emailable??? Love to say 'thanks'...
