Not again My condolences for the family. Chirs was an absolute fun
guy and I cheris the memories of Tonopah, where we had such a great

Chris O'Callaghan (OC). Good pilot. Good man. More than a soaring
buddy. I never saw him without a smile on his face. What a loss. My
condolences to Laura and all the friends who were fortunate to know
him better than I did.

When Chris started a new magazine (Soaring Pilot) a few years back,
he asked me to write a colum titled (In the Barn) where I would tell
the tale of the last flight of a ship that ended up in my spare parts
barn. Sadly, Chris's ship now has a tale to tell of its last flight.
This is a beautiful sport, but it can bite you.
Rest in peace old friend, I'll meet you under that distant Cu, some
day.

That makes 4 fatal glider accidents in the US alone in 4 weeks.
