OK, I'll be the one to bite. A Google Search on Gary Kildall produced 
the following:

http://www.digitalcentury.com/encyclo/update/kildall.html .

While there's nothing specific mentioned about hang-gliding, he was 
into aeronautics, so the connection seems to be there. He was also a 
fellow grad student at UWash in Seattle in the early 70s. Since my 
research area was on San Juan Island, WA where there was a major 
hang-gliding site in the National Historical Park where I worked, 
it's entirely likely we came into contact. Gee - my brush with fame!

Please keep going with these quotes. I luv 'em!
