Shawn Bud A here. .... My wife and I used to live on South Mountain (above Ship)...back in the eighties; we lived there for over fifteen years and both were from York, Pa. I flew all of the sites in the area including some sites that few people knew of or flew. I stay in touch with the club so that ...

Marc You are right about my sharing in the desire to keep this from happening to anyone of us 'ever' again. And, .....dealing with the hurt is part of the process.

Hi Linda Though Kathy is not a glider pilot, together, ...to a great extent -- with Kathy's instinctual navigation -- we've been circling the airport of life for over thirty wonderful years. And, as we all know, the pilot 'only' flies the thing; it's the navigator that guides us home safely! We alwa...

Hi Mark The new user name and password worked fine. That was kind of you to facilitate that issue for me; thanks much! BTW. It appears you do a great job for CHGPA; I'm aware it must take a great amount of effort on your part...and, ..Im sure it's greatly appreciated.... Just thought I would mention...
