WOW
!!!! What a wonderful story.
I had
the privilege of riding a Southwest trip back from Ontario, long about 2004 or
so, with a P-51 pilot from the Tuskegee escort squadron who was returning from
a speaking engagement in California.
I
spotted him as he arrived at the ONT terminal and there was something about him
– a sweet, but very capable demeanor – that just made me admire him on the
spot.
Imagine
my delight when he chose to sit down beside me on the airplane, in which there
were plenty of other seating choices available.
We
had a lovely chat, and I wrote his name down somewhere but have since misplaced
it.
I’m
confident that that precious gentleman has a place in heaven.
