The article is about Val Paget's World Class World Record. It was in today's
Houston Chronicle on the front page above the fold with the picture taking over
1/5 of the total front page. Excellent publicity for soaring and for recognition
of Val's flight. Val is a member of the Soaring Club of Houston and the flight
was made from our club's field about 50 miles west of Houston.

Not exactly hang gliding, but the PW5 certainly is not a high performance
sailplane. Val was at the WRE encampment at Zapata last year trying for some
flight from there.
