http://blog.xcski.com/2005/05/09/remembering Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

I was one of the lucky people who DID meet Gordon Baxter. It was at Oshkosh 1995. He was the subject at a Forum tent, of which he had delightfully described his adventures in getting there. He told the airline ticketing agent, "I need to be in tent number 10 at 10:00!" Anyone who has ever heard Gordon speak will appreciate how he said that. Later in the day, I found him sitting at the Flying Magazine pavilion with only a few people around. He had a couple of boxes of paperback versions of his book, volumes 1 & 2, which he was selling. I told him I already had both of them in hardcover. He told me never to sell them; then he took out a couple of business cards, signed them and told me to put them in the books. Later when I got home, I glued the cards onto the inside covers of both books. I do miss reading his columns; even more so, I wish I could find him once again in Tent number 10 at 10:00.
