Joe Saltel

Today we had a C-1 lesson from Joe Saltel, but again at La Hacienda, since Tropic Star wasn't available today. We reviewed lots of calls and added some new ones, including vertical tags and the tandem concept. Altogether, Jan asked if we could detect the smell of fried brains! Joe's wife, Chris, wasn't there today because their daughter is having health problems so Chris flew up to be with her. The daughter apparently has an aneurysm in the brain and a torn artery in the back of the brain/neck somewhere, and they haven't decided yet whether to operate or just try to deal with the condition with medication. We are sending healing thoughts.

Ken had much less problem with his back at the lesson today, partly because Joe didn't call as fast as Darryl.
