Pennsylvania

Clifford J Quinn

Email: cjq1670@aol.com To view my children’s work go to this site: activitytv.tv. Once on this site type in "kites" in the search box, up will come 9 different kites and a video on how to make them. My heart and brain are open to anyone who wants to learn about kiting. I also teach kite classes to AKA members and Clubs across the country. As you can surmise kiting is my passion and big part of my life. I did a project for the TV History Channel. The segment is called Birdzilla. (part of the Monster Quest) I made a special bird that looks like a giant condor. It has a wingspan of 25 feet. The bird is flown in the film to demonstrate that folks can't judge size way up in the air.
