Some of you remember Walter Cawby, he was an active contest flier

for years
and a retired airline captain. Walter gave up flying gliders a few

years
back and still flew his beloved Baron.
Walter was always interested in sailplanes, competed all over the

country
and his wife Kay was a;ways a big part of his glider activities. Kay

also
is an accomplished glider pilot, having flown many high performance
sailplanes.
Walter recently became sick and after a brief illness headed west.

RIP 41... I knew him from EAL and flying a number of Nationals with
him. Nice guy...
