Reader comment on:
Ed Yost, 87, Father of Modern Hot-Air Ballooning

Submitted by Richard Schultz, Jul 21, 2007 21:00

Mr. Miller,

Meet Ed Yost at a Kentucky Derby Kick-off luncheon. Cannot recall the year. I had a copy of the National Geographic which featured his solo atlantic flight in 1976. Mr. Yost autographed the cover of the magazine which pictured the Silver Fox. I guess the luncheon was in the spring of 1977.

Question, is there a collection of memorablia for Mr. Yost? If so, where?

Thanks. R. Schultz
