>It has been brought to my attention that we did not mention what the 
>Berkman/Langen
>Memorial
>Fund would be used for.  In counseling with Jonni Berkman
>and Diana Langen it was decided to use the funds for the aviation
>education of young people.  Herb was a big booster of the Experimental 
>Aircraft Association's (EAA) "Young
>Eagle" program.  There are thousands of pilots that donate their
>time and money to give young people their first ride in an airplane. 
>For many this is their first exposure to aviation.  Herb remembered
>when he was young, building and flying model airplanes what he wouldn't
>have given to have a ride in a real airplane.  He always remembered
>this during his young Civil Air Patrol (CAP) days.  He has given many
>rides to young people who were just like him.

>But we have to look beyond that.  When a young person does "catch the bug" 
>to learn about aviation and
>maybe flying and doesn't have the resources to start an education in
>that direction is where this fund will come into play.  To help young
>people get started on the road to a career in aviation.

>We wish to

>Cimiluca, Director of the Rocky Mountain Fly-In for his help in having
>the
>Langen family come up from Tucson for the
>Memorial Service.  The Rocky Mountain
>Fly-In  has announced the establishment of the Berkman/Langen Memorial
>Fund. They have joined up with 1stBank to enable anyone to walk into
>any branch
>and donate to the fund.  So instead of flowers maybe a donation to the
>fund would be more appropriate.  Check out www.rmrfi.org/index.htm.
