In reply to Anne Sandler.Thanks, Anne! I’m hoping the video not working is not a widespread problem. With me on minimal Internet for October, I can”t get it fixed anytime soon.

What a treat for Owen. I'm sure it will be stored in his memory back forever. Sorry, the video wouldn't play for me. Could be my friend's internet.

What a great story, John. Passing the torch is a perfect solution.

Your grandson could start flying gliders as one can solo in a glider at age 14. CAP has glider academies for cadets each summer. Also CAP cadets are eligible for 5 free orientation rides in gliders (any time of the year) as well as 5 free orientation airplane rides. Flight instruction is free for one’s private license in CAP. So if your grandson is interested in learning to fly, he should definitely join the CAP cadet program.
