Lydia Beers was a delightful young woman just starting her career who showed a lot of interest in flying and asked good questions. Joyce and I enthusiastically introduced her to airplanes and flying and ourselves, sharing our flying stories with her.
It had been our intention to take her on a flight as well, but she was unable to meet us at the nearby airport, and we didn’t feel a take-off from a short grass strip with tall power lines at one end was an appropriate introduction to flying. Rule one is, of course, never scare the passengers.
I just learned that the article has appeared in The Pilot News. How could a newspaper with that name not cover our unique story?
Truly an amazing story. Ironically, I guess the Pilot News is not just about pilots. When is East Joyce coming to visit?

ReplyDeleteAs one who grew up in the middle of a triangle formed by Plymouth, Culver and Knox Indiana (Bourbon is the next town east of Plymouth) I know the area very well. Amazing how Randy's blog led me to this one, and then back "home" again!
