Michael E. McCarron passed away on August 15th, 2014 at the age of 73. His first love was flying.  He spent nine years in the Air Force as a navigator, and learned to fly in their club. After returning to school to earn a degree in Aeronautical Engineering, he flew hang gliders and then sailplanes with his wife, Lurana (Lori). He was instrumental in starting the Saratoga Soaring Association, where he served as instructor, tow pilot, and mechanic. He loved flying in contests, especially in Mifflin, PA, Elmira, NY, and New Castle, VA. Now he has his wings.
