Soar Minden has always been the place for hundreds of pilots from all over the world to meet, looking for the greatest soaring adventures! For the past 11 years, the face and voice of Soar Minden has been Kathleen Sabino, who welcomed everyone with a wonderful smile and the hospitality of her home and heart.

A marvelous cook and generous host, who made the most amazing feasts on short notice, anyone who has attended one of these events will attest that it was not obvious she was suffering with the cancer which finally claimed this true friend of soaring on April 21st. Kathleen maintained her strong outgoing nature until the end, never letting anyone know the pain she was going through and the battle she was waging.

Kathleen will be missed by everyone she has come in contact with, not only for her wonderful personality, but also for her constant support for the quality and growth of soaring at Minden-Tahoe airport and her loving and close partnership with her friend and husband, Tony.

Please remember Kathleen fondly, the next time you call “Final Glide”
