Nancy Lockwood is donating three items. Two bird kites - Blue Jay and Goldfinch, plus a Reza kite. Nancy's kites are wonderful and are always among the top earning auction items. Looking forward to seeing this year's items.

Here is the story about the Reza kite that Brad received from Nancy. After reading it, this sounds like it might be a very special kite.

Would anyone in MKS like a challenge ? The story goes like this:

Gene Lewandowski ( who just passed away on the 26th - funeral Saturday) gave me a kite last July. Someone gave it to him. It needs a couple spars and a pair of "really long tails". It was made by Reza and is signed by him, possibly the first of a design. Trouble is, I have not been able to find any photos of this kite with the tails. But calculating the length of the kite itself ( about 5 feet long), and the fact that it is very narrow in the main body, my guess would be about 40 feet long tails to accurately balance it. Probably in colors similar to the kite itself, maybe in wedges or bars. OR, SINCE THE SKY'S THE LIMIT AND WHO OWNS IT HAS SAY, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO. It's a man sort of figure, with a cross bar section - one of which has no spar in it. The tails would be legs.

See pictures of Nancy's bird kites and the Reza Spirit Man kite in the slideshow below.
