I just received word a couple of days ago that Hod Taylor passed on August 19, one day shy of his 97th birthday. Hod was a fixture around the old Black Forest Glider Port for many years until it closed, then became a permanent resident of the operations at Minden. I would like to gather some stories and anecdotes for an article for Soaring magazine. He never wanted to be in the spotlight, yet he was always there to share a story or make a comment, and in so doing has affected hundreds, if not thousands who have passed through the glider operations over the years. I think it only fitting that he be memorialized in some way.

Thanks.
