Sailplane & Gliding update
All:
Yes the SSA is taking back the magazine which was transferred to Gillian in 2003. It was originally started by the SSA. The ExComm discussion on the subject was held in Mid September. That was the first most of us knew that Gillian was retiring. As of now, there is no editor. Discussions are ongoing with several individuals. Gillian will be a tough act to follow. I doubt most businesses could find a good hire in a very short time. Your patience, a commodity in short supply amongst us glider pilots, is appreciated. Once I know more, I'll post. Feel free to email me. Regards, Chip Fitzpatrick Region 2 Director Vice-Chair SSA |

I guess patience is like circling in sink.
Looking at the 'death of glidingmagazine' thread, volunteers stepped forward in a matter of hours. Perhaps the Excomm should publicize its search efforts ? Hopefully Gillian's list of all the contributors she has encouraged over the years has not been lost. With them and even a temporary editor the mag could be continued rather than allowed simply to disappear.

I do hope that the many readers of the online gliding magazine (and
followers of S&G for years) have recognised Gillian's sterling contribution to the worldwide soaring movement over many years - do not let her retirement pass without a word from you...
