SoвЂ¦ as you can likely imagine вЂ“ that is not exactly what ended up happening to the boys.Д¬raig screeched to a halt вЂ“ which in turn flipped his little brother off of the bike. He is determined! He will not let go of the wing! He just stops, and in his imagination it is completely logical that he will at this point become airborne and achieve his dream of flight. I hope you can picture this! Craig is clinging to an 8 foot wing that is tied to the bike, racing down the road at fearless-boy-speed, and he suddenly stops. So when the wing was finally completed and tethered to D вЂs bike with about 30 feet of rope вЂ“ which they had calculated was long enough to enable Craig to soar over the houses вЂ“ they were ready to put the plan into motion.Д was to ride his bike up the street as fast as he could and Craig would run behind him holding the wing with the broomstick handle.ДЄt a certain point, Craig would come to a screeching halt, and then when he stopped, the theory was he would have enough thrust and lift from the speed of the bike to take flight with their meticulously engineered wing! (Craig adds: вЂњS issy-bars were great because you could tie all sorts of stuff to them. The boys spent about two weeks on this project.Д¬raig was convinced that once the wing was built all he needed to do was tie a rope connecting the wing to the back of his brotherвЂ™s bike via the metal sissy-bar on the banana seat. They nailed the frame together and used a staple gun to attach the tar paper to the lath frame. ( I suppose, conversely, the materials werenвЂ™t as safe from little boys with big plans as were the tools!) Craig says proudly that they were early recyclers. They scavenged the materials from the construction site of a new house being built down the block. They built it on the workbench in the carport вЂ“ back when you could just leave your tools out and theyвЂ™d be safe. Inspired by this, Craig and his younger brother D (age 8) decided to build a wing of their own out of lathing, tar paper and a broom stick. Fowler, having the class blow on a piece of paper to experiment with air pressure and lift. He fondly remembers his grade 4 teacher, Mrs. It was pretty high-techвЂ¦ but I digress!Д¬raig learned how a wing worked and about the Wright Brothers and Otto LilienthalвЂs gliders. Upon reflection, it is interesting that both Craig and I were AV Monitors (Audio-visual Monitors) who assisted the teachers with setting up equipment and threading films and filmstrips.

In this era, media in the classroom consisted of a monthly National Film Board movie and watching filmstrips, which if we were lucky, had a soundtrack on a vinyl record that beeped when it was time to forward the frame. He was fascinated with it ( and he still is). When Craig was around 10 he learned about flight and lift and aerodynamics in school.

When they were children, The Amazing Craig and his brother were the kind of trouble that I can only imagine: double-trouble, creative, full of vision, and fearless.
