HI all,

I just uploaded a number of George Uveges photos from the 1970 World
Championships at Marfa TX. I have another set that I will be uploading in
the next day or two. Thanks to George for allowing these to be publicly
posted and to the NSM for loaning out the slides for digitization.

I now have access to equipment to digitize just about any sort of film or
video media. I would like to gather as much content as possible. Please
e-mail me if you have any materials you would like to contribute.

Kevin,

Majorly cool!!! Thanks to you and George U. for co-acting to help preserve
this bit of soaring history.

Kinda-sorta related, if the stars align as the unindicted co-conspirators
hope, the soaring world may soon (this year?) have access to digitized color
slides taken during the Sierra Wave Projects by an inveterate, lifelong,
photo-hound. It was a Real Treat to attend Hal Klieforth's (totally unexpected
by me) presentation at this year's Reno Convention. Real, Manly, Kodachrome
slides projected from a carousel slide projector. As for the slides
themselves, in a word, "Wow!"

Any soaring pilot/aficionado who doesn't know who Hal Klieforth is is in the
happy position of still being able to find "more good soaring stuff" to read
about. Mr. Google is your starting friend!
