Mr. Lincoln moved on to the next great airmass in the sky well before I
started gliding (and enjoying his writing) 3 years ago.
He was an icon in Arizona soaring for quite some time. Hopefully some
of the more senior rASArs can fill us in here.
His daughter Judy was instructing at Estrella when I attended a camp
there in the late 70s.She's petite, and when she needed to rotate a
2-33 she had to put both hands on the nose handle, lift herself off
the ground, and wait a few seconds while the machine ponderously
tipped over onto the skid. Jim Foreman, watching this, once commented
"My SHADOW weighs more than she does!"
