(I recieved this from Pete Lehmann, who asked if I could get it out to our members... so here it is! Jim Zeiset was a friend of mine, and a fantastic guy... larger than life... and will always be missed and remembered)
Jim Zeiset Obituary Article On The Web
For those in the hang-gliding community who knew the late Jim Zeiset, whether personally or by legendary reputation, I would like to suggest reading the full memorial article celebrating his life, now available on the USHPA website.
https://www.ushpa.org/page/jz-obituary
The article is an expanded version of the one appearing in the current May/June issue of USHPA Pilot Magazine, and which was edited to meet the magazine’s space constraints.
JZ, as he was best known, was such an interestingly creative, provocative and active individual that his life story is worthy of a book length biography. But the article will have to serve, and I recommend the longer version of it.
Memorial activities to celebrate JZ’s life are planned around the Fourth of July by Amy Zeiset and Larry Smith at Jim’s home in Salida, Colorado and at the nearby Villa Grove flying site. It is likely to be a helluva party. Details may be found at,
