Looking for contact info for Vic Powell

Post by Spark »

Hey Ya'll

I've got an old UP Knee Hanger harness of Vic Powell's that I want to donate to Ken DeRussey's hang gliding museum.

Here is some info on Ken and his commendable efforts to preserve hang gliding history:
Ken de Russy

Anacortes, WA

Anway, as far as I can recollect, Vic was USHGA prez many years ago and a pioneer of High Rock and early CHGA member. I am looking for contact info for Vic and/or any photos old-timers might have of him in this harness.

FYI for more recent CHGPA (formerly CHGA) members who might not know: Vic Powell was the founding prez of CHGA, back in 1974. So there's definitely some historical value in that harness... Certainly from a local perspective, and perhaps even nationally. Can't help with any photos (unfortunately, I joined CHGA/CHGPA in the mid 90's, and I don't really know Vic), but I did track down a possible email address for 'Spark and passed it along.

Hopefully someone can offer some photos of Vic, in that harness, from back-in-the-day.

Lost track of Vic a number of years ago. He lives (used to?) in Annandale. Try pinging John Harris at Kitty Hawk Kites in NC. John can probably get Vic in touch with you.
