I read that article when I was a kid... and then remembered it when I got
into soaring a few years ago, hoping to find it again someday. What a
well-written article! I'm going to bookmark it and point interested people
to it as an introduction. Though it's 40 years old, not so much has changed,
has it?

Thank you!!
