David Nelson, from Grand Haven Michigan, spent a week helping several CISS members repair and update their gliders recently. Several members gained hands on experience under the watchful eye of David who often repeated his offer that "there is nothing you can mess up that I cannot help you correct". Everyone who participated agreed it was an interesting and useful experience. David has indicated he would be willing to come back next year and possibly do a short half day program for anyone interested in learning more about gel coat repairs and touching up the nicks on their gliders. If you would like to participate in such an event, or might want to do some work on your glider under David's supervision, please let Nyal Williams or John Earlywine know of your interest.
