Steve's update:
The April BOD meeting is this weekend, 4-12-08 at 10:00 eastern.
The BOD will decide a final cut-off date for donations recieved to the re-vamp the ramp project.
This is a historical event and you still have time to participate in this most worthy cause.
There will be a bronze plaque with all donators names embedded into the rock at the finest hang gliding launch in the world.

Another note from Dan Shell,,, we will also be trying to get one of the wings lumbered also, newsletters folded and stamped, etc...... lot of stuff going on. Come on out and help, if at all possible.

This is the original ramp at Henson's Gap. Back in the very early '70s, Ron Gleason took this shot. Considering what we have now,,,, this one was very primative, and dangerous from a nose wire guys perspective. Which Ron also had a bad experience with, and lived to walk away from it. However, he got the nickname of "Ramp inspector", while clinging for his life to the trusses underneath until they were able to pull him back on top of the ramp. Later, after glider inspection, he flew an evening glass-off.(probably had to clean his shorts out too!)
