I asked Jim Smiley to send me a story about the first claim of the the Boomerang
I remember the occasion well. Ben Green won the regionals at New Castle. He was given the boomerang as the winners trophy. To be fair as he is always, he placed it at Strawberry hill (gliding site near Winston Salem).At the first opportunity, a couple of days later, I flew to Strawberry hill to lay claim.
Ben and Gren arrived the next day to learn the bad news. They trailored back to Chester and on the following day set out for South Boston.
The rest is history.
