We need at least four more team members before February 6th to ensure that we get customized t-shirts with the SAHGA logo on them.

This is an opportunity to keep our sport visible in a positive way within the city, so please consider joining the SAHGA team.

We SAHGA would like to dedicate this years climb to Russ Anderson. Russ is a former SAHGA president, also a Climb A Mt event organizer, of many years. Russ was a principle discoverer of the Box Canyon Hang gliding site.

Hey Pilots, I plan to be down to Tucson for the 3/7 Climb "A" Mtn fun day. Who do I need to contact to have somebody take my PG gear up before we start Hiking?

I'll be on the road a lot this week, so if somebody can call me with instructs, I appreciate.

How was it today at A Mtn? I'm so sorry I couldn't make it. I got a call from My Sister about midnight last night, that our Mom, 86, had fallen, and had to be at E.R.

So, I spent the day with her in SunCity. She's doing very Well. I'm glad for that, but wish I had been in Tucson.

So, Eric, can you just put my T-Shirt in the mail? it's P O Box 21533, Mesa AZ 85277

Appreciate you guys.

Here's Eric soaring over the "A" after the hike. He got a big, collective "ooh" from the crowd with his takeoff, very nice:
