FROM THE EDITORS EDITORS Scott Skinner Ali Fujino Katie Davis BOARD OF DIRECTORS Scott Skinner Martin Lester Joe Hadzicki Stuart Allen Dave Lang Jose Sainz Ali Fujino BOARD OF DIRECTORS EMERITUS Bonnie Wright Wayne Wilson Keith Yoshida Drachen Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation devoted to the increase and diffusion of knowledge about kites worldwide. WWW.DRACHEN.ORG Discourse is published on the Drachen Foundation website several times a year and can be downloaded free at!www.drachen.org (under “Publications”). Discourse continues to receive interesting input from the world kite community. My thanks go out to all contributors, and we will continue to publish interesting articles from Drachen friends the world over. It’s nice to catch up with Carl Robertshaw and hear more about his collaboration with Ivan and Heather Morison. Carl was one of the “young guys” on the crest of the sport kite wave of the 1990s and has continued to make his way in the art world. Frits Sauvé gives a hands-on tour of the restoration of a historical kite, while Holm Struck and Ralf Maserski report on the 10th Historical Kite Workshop. Thierry Nénot shows us the amazing work of Robert Devautour, kites made in France before the late century kite renaissance that we are all a part of. A photo-essay of 1957 university kites shows there is plenty for us to learn by looking back. But there are forward-looking articles as well: Foundation board members Joe Hadzicki and Dave Lang give a report of the Airborne Wind Energy Conference, showing the possibility of kites in our energy-producing future. Jose Sainz reports from Burning Man, an arts festival in the Black Rock Desert, where the kiting spirit may influence a number of new artists. There are reports of current aerial photography projects in Mexico, and Gary Hinze brings us more paper kites to keep us busy this winter. Thank you contributors!
