Hi there!

I have been reading rec.kites for most of the summer, and while I have made a
few posts, I never gave a full blown introduction.  While there have been lots
of other additions to the fan club this past week or so, I thought I would get
my word in...

I am going to be a sophomore at Northwestern University, just north of
Chicago, where I am studying electrical engineering.

While I have flown kites off and on since I was a kid, I didn't get seriously
involved until this past spring when a friend of mine from school let me fly
her eight foot flexifoil.  I loved the sensation and became interested in
power kiting.  I bought a Griffin, and I've enjoyed flying it most of the
summer.  Now, though, I am becoming interested in the precision aspect of
kiting, as well.  Two weeks ago, I met a couple who are responsible for
competitions and such in my hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan, and I had an
opportunity to see them fly.  Now I am very interested in both extremes of
kiting.

I've enjoyed reading the postings here.  I hope I can be of some help!
