Our longtime friend and inspiration and the inventor of the flexible wing which led to the hang glider, paraglider, ultra light aircraft, delta kites, stunt kites, and kiteboarding kites, is now 97. I know that all of you would want to know that his health has recently been declining rapidly. Hospice has been called in to make him as comfortable as possible . No one knows how long he may live. Please keep him in your thoughts. As we receive more information we will forward it to you.
