Chad Elchin Memorial Fund and Funeral Information

G.W. Meadows has established a Chad Elchin memorial fund. For complete details, please see the article in the OZ report: Ozv7n98.shtml#4

Here's some of the most important information, excerpted from that article:

We have way too few people teaching hang gliding as it is in the U.S. I am asking that we rally around Highland Aerosports and Sunny, Adam (Chad's brother) as well as the other people who have dedicated their recent lives to show the masses the beauty of our sport.

Sunny does not know that I have decided to do this and he is not asking for money. I am just intimately familiar with this (and other) hang gliding schools and I know that catastrophes like this can put them under. We need this hang gliding school to survive.
