Gordy sent me a bunch of his articles he has written over the years, and I’ve put them up on the site under the Downloads link on the left. You can now read all of “Gordy’s Travels” articles in one place and in Adobe PDF Format! If any other LASS members have any articles, documents, reviews, pictures, stories, whatever, feel free to drop me a note at info AT louisvillesoaring DOT org.
