We passed our commercial check rides today on St Patrick's Day. It
was probably with a bit of luck from an 'old Irish man', John Morrow,
our affable instructor based at Kingston, NY.

It was a long day with us leaving home at around 7am to fly from
Dutchess County airport in Poughkeepsie NY to Columbia County airport
in Hudson, NY for the check rides.

Congratulations to both of youse

I didn't know you were from Poughkeepsie. My aunt lives there. I flew there
for my first student cross country back in 1996 to visit here. A hurricane
had just past through and her phone wasn't working, and I didn't tell her in
advance that I was coming. I've probably been there a few more times since.
