Above is a picture of Marv Vikla, who is Ryan's Godfather, shaking Chesley Sullenberger's hand at Sully's book signing at the Mall of America. Recall that it was Sully who safely glided the US Airways flight into the Hudson R. last January. Marv and I were classmates with Sully in USAF Undergraduate Pilot Training at Columbus MS back in 1974. Cindy and I have remained close to the Viklas since then. In fact, we just saw them on our recent trip to the upper midwest and west. Marv went to the book signing to see if Sully remembered all of us, and he said he did. Marv then got us a personalized copy of the book.
Small world. Hope to see lots of you as the holidays beckon!
Love to all,
Denny & Cindy
