Fredrick Robinson was born April 10, 1928 and passed away November 7, 2008 near Crystalaire, CA. He is survived by six children, numerous grandchildren and many good friends. Fred has left a lasting impression on everyone who has met him by his unselfish acts of kindness, his sincerity, good natured humor, and interest in everyone he met. Fred earned the Diamond soaring badge # 80 from the Soaring Society of America. As master pilot and glider instructor pilot, he was very proud to have taught three generations of glider pilots to solo. He operated Great Western Soaring School in Llano, CA from 1965 to 1975 and again from 1998 to present. Fred was happiest with the wind beneath his wings. A flyby is planned in the near future as a memorial to his life and love of flying. Check www.greatwesternsoaring.com for further details.
