March 13, 1969 - While Daddy was serving Fairburn United Methodist Church in Fairburn, GA, he started taking flight lessons. Here's his flight record book with, I suppose, a listing of all the flights he took. I flew with him at least once. With my friend Mike Bock, who was visiting, we flew around Stone Mountain. We had a little excitement during the return flight when his radio quit working for outgoing messages. He could still hear the radio message from the tower at Peachtree Dekalb Airport. He managed to catch their attention and they directed him in, with daddy signaling that he had heard their messages by wagging the planes wings side to side. The lasnd was rough but successful. One of the flights listed is on the date I put on this post.
