Does anyone know or recall Jack Wolfe of Hagerstown? He just died on his 62d birthday while on a bike ride in Tennessee. The article in the Hagerstown newspaper says he had been a hang gliding instructor.

Former HG Instructor Dies
I never heard of him either, and I've been teaching locally since 1976. I
taught for Sail Flight
( Finksburg, Md.), Econ-o-Flight( Hampstead, Md. ), Other Brothers(
Emmittsburg,Md ), Imperial Hanggliders( Pittsburg, Pa.) and Washington
School of Hanggliding ( DC ) and never new a instructor by that name. Other
DC schools were Sport Flight and Hang Gliders' International and to the best
of my knowledge they didn't have anyone by that name either.
The Winnakee brothers briefly had a school up in the Cumberland area ( near
Zirks ) during the late 70's but it was short lived. Maybe he worked for
them, but I don't recall them having help.
