Ollie introduced and mentored me in the fine art of sailing. I believe it helped me develop a love of soaring in gliders which is really 3 dimensional sailing. Thanks, Ollie !

I am sorry to hear of Ollie's passing. We worked together at DuPont Explosives Dept. in the 1970's. Always a gentleman, Ollie was well revered at Du Pont and I enjoyed working with him. I am happy to see he lived a good long life. Please accept my sincere condolences
