"Super Job Glenn!"

- David Gomberg; AKA President

 

"Wow! What a great piece of work!"

- Richard Dermer; Past AKA President

 

"It is the first place I send people who want to get started in kite making. It's not just for classrooms, it is a great first primer with tested kites that fly and don't take forever to make. Not every kite needs to be sewn!"

          - Barbara Meyer, AKA Region 6 Director

 

"The guide is fabulous! Today's learners love authentic cross curriculuar project learning. I will share it with my colleagues."

          -Wendy (Teacher)

 

"I just downloaded the KITC manual from the AKA website ... It looks great!   I know first hand how much work is involved in your masterpiece... you've done a wonderful job. I think the manual size and content are just right. I especially like the charts of kite types you created and the charts and diagrams of the kite parts are equally well done ... no ambiguities there!   The color photos are very instructive and I especially like the pictures of kids making kites! Congratulations and thank you for a job well done."

- Hank Manseau; Founding member of Kites Over New England

"When you're flying a kite you're out standing in your field."
