 George Cockburn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
George composed a great many tunes over the years but, sadly for us all, most were handed to fellow pipers (for whom the house at Murray’s Brewery was a musical haven) without titles and have probably since been either lost or credited to other composers.
During George’s working life one of his greatest pleasures was to motor down from Edinburgh to Moffat in the family’s tiny saloon car.
George Cockburn died in 1974 leaving us with at least two very fine tunes for which he will long be remembered.

Actually, there are several modifications, but the one that George is talking about is that you now have an opportunity to select one of three applications of the prescribed area task.
Although most of the top pilots do not agree, to me the essence of soaring has been one of competing against the elements that you are flying in and you are trying to do the best under the circumstances, and here is where we have the basic difference.
To George it is competing against somebody else and in that sense, the closer you come down to running everybody down the same track at the same time, well the better it's going to be.

Two Standard Cirrus gliders were delivered to George Moffat from the factory.
According to George, this small change did much more than tame the hot landing characteristics of the early model, as Klaus Holighaus had intended.
George went on to say "early impressions that I was climbing well soon became convictions that I could go up through anything." Flying these ships at Vrsac, he and Ben Green "grew used to outclimbing all comers." In addition glide performance was improved at speeds up to 85 kts.

 Giant | Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson | An epic celebration of Texas life from George Stevens
Director George Stevens won his second Oscar for this ambitious, grandly realized (if sometimes slow moving) epic of the changing socioeconomic (and physical) landscape of modern Texas, based on Edna Ferber's bestselling novel.
Whether you watch it to honor George Stevens' directorial artistry, maybe Rock Hudson's best performance, a Texas-style birthday party, or as a remembrance of James Dean's untimely death and staggering talent, GIANT is one heck of a western epic and family saga.
Directed by George Stevens, the sprawling epic (201 minutes, but it goes fast, believe me) beautifully covers two generations of family and a variety of issues, including marriage, family, childraising, social snobbery and racism, the latter two being covered especially well.
