This seems to be the opinion of a lot of people. I too, was very impressed
the 2 times I met and talked with Dennis. He was barely on the job until he
came to a nationals at Mifflin one spring. Charlie Spratt introduced me to
him, and I was always impressed with his communications, and his willingness
to be out among the general membership that he worked for. Not all agreed
with everything he did, but who among us agrees with someone else on every
issue. NO ONE!!! Good luck to you Dennis, SSA and soaring will miss you.

Dennis,

I hope this isn't 'goodbye' from soaring and hope that
you will continue your soaring endeavors. Anyone who
takes an auto-launch in a 1-26 for his Silver Distance
flight has to be fully 'infected' with the soaring
'disease.'

We met at the Arlington convention and at Perry, South
Carolina and I hope we can meet at another gathering
of soaring pilots in the future. You are welcome to
fly with us in our club at Harnett County, North Carolina.

Keep chasing the great thermals!

Regards,
Ray Lovinggood
