In November 1999, a father and his three sons were killed in a plane crash. The link to the NTSB accident report is below:

The three boys (Jack, Will and Rob) all were students in Camas schools. The mother decided to build a youth center as a memorial to her children – from donated funds, mostly hers. The facility is now operated by the Boy’s and Girl’s Club.

Anyhow, the Camas cross country coach at the time, Beth Uelmen, decided to create a race as a fund raiser for the youth center. The race was a relay with up to seven runners over two courses, one of 27 miles and one of 21 miles. I was involved in measuring the courses – through the parks of Camas and also to construct a web site to put photos which I took on the Internet. The race was called the Camas Relay. So, my web site name was www.camasrelay.com –

The Camas Relay lasted two years only, but I kept the web site and the web site name to support mostly the Camas cross country and also to put some of my aircraft performance files.
