Default FRED ROBINSON

I was very sorry to read about Fred. I only met him once 5 or 6 years ago.
Just happened to be passing Llano on the way back to Santa Barbara from
Big Bear, and called in as one does when within 50 miles of a gliding
site. He made me very welcome, and we had a short flight in the Grob, it
wasn't soarable. I've always remembered him.

Hello all, after the several inquiries posted this past few days
regarding Fred, I had been waiting for someone else to come up with
the grim news. It did not happen, so here it is. I was told yesterday
morning that Fred had died by his own hand. I know nothing else.
There is no towing right now at GWSS. I will post additional
information here if and when I get it and know it to be accurate.

No cheers, Charles
