A former jet pilot in the Polish Air Force trained in gliders as the Europeans do brought in a visiting priest whose English was only a few words better than my Polish! The briefing had to be interpreted and some hand signals agreed upon before Stanislaus and I could launch for a 4500' tow over to the Diablo on an overcast day.
I did get a smile from him when I tapped him on the shoulder to have him turn around and see me jesture with both hands exclaiming, "God is all around us!" After that his demeanor returned to one that I could only describe as deep concern as he must have thought he was in the air with some wild and crazy guy.
