Dennis,

I hope this isn't 'goodbye' from soaring and hope that
you will continue your soaring endeavors. Anyone who
takes an auto-launch in a 1-26 for his Silver Distance
flight has to be fully 'infected' with the soaring
'disease.'

We met at the Arlington convention and at Perry, South
Carolina and I hope we can meet at another gathering
of soaring pilots in the future. You are welcome to
fly with us in our club at Harnett County, North Carolina.

Keep chasing the great thermals!

Regards,
Ray Lovinggood
Carrboro, North Carolina
