Default Heros

Here, here!

I was just a Williams this past weekend. Can't think of any glider operation
owner who cares more about the sport *and* his customers than Rex and Noel.

A well respected and well liked glider pilot has been promoted to hero
status in my opinion. The busiest pilot I know is now fighting fires
600 miles from home. He is allowed two minutes of phone time each day.
I was a Firefighter long ago and I know what it is like to work a
disaster for 24 hours without rest. Reading the paper today, it seems
that 48 hours without sleep, doing the hardest and most dangerous work
is his fare. He is not paid, he is a volunteer firefighter.
He is REX MAYES of Williams Soaring in California
God bless Rex and his fellows. Fred
