The tow pilot was Scott Henderson. An article on him:

He did a lot to advance the club - basically finding it a new home,
expanding the days that towing would be available, and kept everyone in the
loop on club activities.

Here's a story on his efforts last year:

My condolences to all!

In looking at a video shot earlier in the day of a glider launch, it
appeared to me that the pawnee was not climbing very well... Creswell
elevation is only 540 feet. And the temperature only got up to the low
70's that day. http://www.kval.com/news/local/54613062.html

Let's be careful out there! And again, my sincere condolences to all
involved.
