Ralph Senter is celebrating his 80th birthday this coming weekend at Dog Mountain, where he is still flying regularly.

I first met Ralph in the park in Chelan, Washington when I was a hang II pilot and had brought my Pacific Airwave Vision 20 over to fly from the Butte during the US Nationals in 1986. Ralph helped me out and I safely launched from the upper lakeside of the Butte and landed in the unseen junkyard for my first "cross country" flight.
