Jennifer was still being nursed on the day and at the flight site when her mother flew the first Bob Lovejoy Quicksilver hang glider.
Found this photo today: Jennifer and her son and Jennifer's dad Joe Faust. See Jennifer's mother's flight: HERE.

Today we type and show something on the Internet in minutes and show the World such.
Beginnings of hang gliding modern publishing: type on paper, cut and wax, layup page, photograph, use negative to burn lithographic plate, learn to run printing machine, ink up, run copies, advertise, send copies in paper postal mail to hang gliding enthusiasts ... and more without computer. Different editions: L&S and HGM and HGW, and more: at least 219 paper products.
And today: dedicated to have a set of different hang gliders that may be politely and safely toted on a city bus to a site for some hang gliding; such movement is being chronicled in the US Hawks forum in the topic thread of https://www.ushawks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1916 where interested persons are gathering for a special new branch of hang gliding; such may occupy me until I am unable to so move. Deeply break a general dependence on the use of private cars, vans, and trucks for some recreational hang gliding. :arrow: :idea:
