This is great stuff. Thank you for sharing it with the world. Technically, this is Elberta, Michigan. Frankfort was the other side of the bay. I was a kid of 12 or so, running around being a kid, hanging out with Hal Brock, son of race car driver Pete Brock. He is in several of these videos, though I don't think I am anywhere to be seen. I will have to look through all of them again. Again, thanks for sharing!

My Dad and uncles were involved with the glider club for the soaring part of the festival. Bob, Dusty and George Bennett.

Love it at 2:33 where the pilot tosses off his helmet mid flight. Ah, the 70's.

Robert, are you part of the group that I met with at the Midland Center for the Arts prior to the 1974 Soaring and Gliding Festival? The First festival was 1973 and Dean Luedders, Grant Smith and I were responsible for setting up the hang gliding portion. I met with a group at the Midland Center for the Arts to facilitate their participation in and filming of the 1974 festival. I would enjoy reconnecting if you were part of that group.

Hi John, I am Robert Lorey's son; I posted this video as a tribute to his work. He passed away in 2004 and I do not know if he was at the Midland Center. I hope you enjoyed his Hang Gliding film.

@@polaarbear Hi again, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I lost my dad in 2002 and can appreciate your loss. I very much enjoyed your father's films. I was at the 74 festival and did some filming as well. I'm sure your father and I crossed paths there. My films are on RU-vid as well. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. What was your father's birth year. I was born in May of 1945 and will be 75 soon. The fellows I met with in Midland were slightly younger. Also, were your father's films 16 mm? Again, sorry for your loss. Best regards, John

I see my second question was answered above. I know the group from Midland was shooting 16 mm. Did your father live in the vicinity of Midland as a young man? Was the 1974 festival before you were born?
