[NSRCA-discussion] John Gayer has passed away

[Daniel Underkofler]

We are devastated and shocked here in Colorado.  John was the best flying
buddy you could have and we always looked forward to his visits, and to our
visits to his contests.  He was the glue that tied CO and NM pattern groups
together.
Carol and John hosted some great contest-evening parties.
He will be sorely missed.
