Hi,

I am deeply saddened to have just learned of a fatal accident at the Ionia
soaring contest. I don't want to post details because I don't know if the
family has been notified. Contact me for details. I am not at the contest
but have talked briefly with contest personnel.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Fly safe,

It is eerie in hindsight to read TA's Soaring Cafe report for May 28th, especially so, the third paragraph.
