At Simi Valley when my dad and mom were testing Bob Lovejoy's first
Quicksilver,
I was there on the ground; my dad held me while my Mom flew the Quicksilver.
I was still nursing at the time; I probably saw some some flying, but I do not
remember that moment; there is a photo of my Mom flying the Quicksilver:

Joy Faust is team member that produced Low &
Slow. Her sister Jennifer was nursing at this time. Shown is the attic
of their home holding printing press, sheet folder, and other works for hang
gliding publishing.
Joy Faust was key in the 5-strong production team of Low & Slow.
Their mother Joanne was flying Seagull II, III, and Quicksilver.

to take USHGA #1 membership,
as I wanted #5 to remind me of the five persons in the family that was most
important to me...
