Sadly, I report that Gunnar Blanke, former SSA Governor for Colorado
and long-time Soaring Society of Boulder member, passed away suddenly
last evening.

Gunnar was a avid promoter of soaring, always helping pilots, new and
seasoned, and giving rides to those showing an interest. He posted
occasionally here.

Gunnar will be greatly missed, but it was a pleasure to have known
him.
