That's good to know. Having the chair of the Math Dept. at her level means a
dedicated personality :-)
It's good someone will be carrying on the fine work Bill has done.

She's Catherine Cavagnaro, chairman of the math department at the
University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee (the university owns the
airport and the rest of the town).

Kershner's only affiliation with University of Iowa was that their press
published his books until recently.

My wife and I took ground school from him early October and flew with
Catherine. It was a terrific experience. Kershner had stopped in-air
instruction a few months earlier and was ill, but he did a fine job with
the classroom instruction. It was a great pleasure working with him and
getting to know him a little. Catherine takes the flying and instructing
very seriously and I'm sure that she will indeed take the torch from her
mentor and carry it forward.

I own at least one copy of each of Bill's books. Bill brought a very
useful
and valuable point of view and methodology to instructing. Many
students
"need" numbers, their minds require the numerics and physics behind
the
maneuver before they understand and accept the maneuver. Bill
provided
this. I for one am and forever will be indebted to him for this
alone.

I agree.
Bill's books made it possible for instructors to couple technical
information with creative teaching to present that information on
levels all students could understand.
His input to aviation will long be remembered by those of us who
benefited from his contribution.

The good thing is that I recall reading an article recently about a
woman who was teaching along-side Bill and it sounded like she might
keep things going where he left off. I can't now remember where I read
this, but it seems like she was a college professor or some such, but
was teaching flying on the side. It sure would be nice for someone to
carry on what he started.
