Default Dr. Robert L. Gillan 93 - final flight

Dr. Bob Gillan - Flight Instructor for so many Central Indiana Soaring
Society members - has launched off on his final flight. Bob, a WWII
Carrier pilot, was teaching soaring when I joined CISS in 1985 and
flew his last logged flight in the Spring of this year. Bob was a
farmer, teacher, lover of nature and a gentle voice from the back
cockpit. We all knew he was getting ready for this departure - so it
does not catch us by surprise - but we will miss him dearly.
