Richard Seymour Memorial Saturday June 28, 2008
The exact cause of the accident is uncertain, but Richard was unable to maintain control of his glider while on approach to land. The last hang gliding fatality in Los Angeles County was more than 21 years ago. A gathering to remember Richard is scheduled for 10:00 on Saturday, June 28 in the Kagel LZ in Sylmar. It will be followed later in the day with a barbecue.
