Hank,

Now the word's really getting out -- this should be fun!

You already know how all of us at Valley Soaring feel about you. Safe to say there'd be a whole lot of us standing around staring at the cumulus and wondering where we could go fly, or learn to fly, without you. Not to mention, who would fix our gliders so we could go fly....

Here's to the next couple of decades!
