I started with Bob Ingrahamwhen he published the first issue ofKite Tales . Your first issue was excellent inevery way ; - knew whoever Bob asked totake over would be the best .Edward ChavezSan Antonio, TXThe Spring 1977 issue of Kite Lines issimply outstanding and it warms my heartfor two good reasons :1 . Bob Ingraham can rest easy. That finegentleman knows now that what he haslabored so long for - and so well - is ingood hands and, in my opinion, due forprosperous years ahead .2 . The cover photos and story on Paul E .Garber told an old admirer-who has yetto meet him-a lot of information aboutthat remarkable man .Back in the mid-20's when I was flyingrubber-powered duration model airplanesat Lambert Field in St . Louis, I asked thatlate model genius, Christy C . Magrath,about a "flying fool" of a twin pusher hetook out of his model-carrying box, and hesaid it was called "War-Peg" after twoestimable model builders and designerswho had dreamed it up : Walter A . Rothand Paul E . Garber. ("Slim" Lindberghused to park his World War I DH4 after aSt . Louis-Chicago mail run and come overto talk aerodynamics with us, members ofthe St . Louis Model Aviation Club . He washandsome, brilliant and mature beyond hisyears.) My press-fresh copy of Garber's1931 Kites and Kite Flying got me going onkites, and I've been hooked ever since thenon that aspect of heavier-than-air flight . Ijust hope I get to meet Paul E . Garberbefore time runs out .Best wishes!Elliott N . CoudenWashington Kitefliers AssociationSeattle, WAPlease renew my subscription to your magazine. How you could give up an excellent,altogether delightful name like Kite Tales,for a humdrum, plodding name like KiteLines, is beyond my comprehension . Youmust have been insane, or asleep, or hoodwinkedby some lawyer. I hope you canmake it go, anyway .Thomas E . MillerWilmington, DEYou are going great! Our congratulations!Better title .Prof . Raymond D . ReelVienna, AustriaPlease cancel my membership . Just receivedyour piece of crap in the mailfound no article worth reading . I am verydisappointed that Bob Ingram [ sic .]would do this to us . As a supporter of AKAall these years I feel as if my support hasnot been warranted .Darrell DavisDuarte, CAKiting, Kite Tales and especially AKA andthe wonderful friendships that I have madethrough the organization have meant agreat deal to me in my later years of lifeand I was hesitant to see a change . Now,after looking over the new Kite Lines, I dothink it was well that the change was made .I think that we all owe Bob a lot forbringing Kite Tales and the organizationup to the level that it was when he retired .You did a wonderful job on the firstissue and we all wish you the best in theyears to come .H .L . (Hod) TaylorAustin, MNI just finished reading Kite Lines fromcover to cover and really enjoyed it .
