It's hard to imaging that that glider was involved in a fatal
accident, if indeed that is a picture of the accident site.

Gary,
Lynn was a member of Evergreen Soaring. He had a lot of hours and was
a very experienced, active CFIG and was considered to be a very safe
pilot. He was a good guy.

The other questions you are asking we don't have answers to because
this happened at 4 pm yesterday, and in any case it is under
investigation by at least two federal agencies.
Unfortunately we have seen this play out before, and there is a
natural tendency to react, probably some adrenaline as well, and that
leads to a lot of emails, posts, and phone calls. I am already
starting to feel like a clearing house for information that I don't
even want. I personally think it is best to just wait and reflect on
all the issues that this brings up, whatever those happen to be for
each person. In a week or two we will know most of what everyone
knows, and then we wait for the NTSB report. If you can, I encourage
you to wait for accurate information.

Please fly safe,

Brian Hood, President
Evergreen Soaring
