Farewell to Quebec

<p>The case of a woman who fell to her death from a hang glider in B.C.&#8217;s Fraser Valley last Saturday has taken a bizarre turn.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.citytv.com/toronto/citynews/news/national/article/203511--hang-glider-pilot-accused-of-swallowing-memory-card-reports">Canadian Press</a> is reporting that police believe William (Jon) Orders, the pilot who was flying the tandem glider with 27-year-old Lenami Godinez-Avila, swallowed a memory card from an on-board camera that would have recorded her last moments.</p>
<p>From the <a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Pilot+involved+fatal+hang+gliding+accident+accused+swallowing+evidence/6549902/story.html#ixzz1tiWamttC"><em>Vancouver Sun</em></a>:</p>
