Very sad news indeed. Stewart's father, Emil, was a mentor to me in
BASA (Bay Area Soaring Associates, in the San Francisco Bay Area) when
I returned to soaring in 1994 after a 15 year gap. I also corresponded
with Stewart via some of his RAS postings. Both father and son were
dedicated to the sport and contributed greatly. My condolences to all
of the family.
