Default Sen Kennedy learns value of local airport,... hopefully.

From AP article this morning:
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was airlifted to a Boston hospital
Saturday after suffering a seizure at his home, and did not appear
to have had a stroke as initially suspected, his spokeswoman said.
...On Saturday, Hyannis Fire Lt. Bill Rex said a 911 call came in
from the Kennedy family compound at 8:19 a.m. A man was
transported to Cape Cod Hospital and transferred by air at
10:10 a.m. from Barnstable Municipal Airport to Boston.
...David Reilly, a spokesman for Cape Cod Hospital, said that
Kennedy was brought to the hospital around 9 a.m. and stayed
for about an hour before being flown by helicopter to the Boston
hospital.


I hope the Senator fully recovers from this event. And I hope he
becomes a fervent supporter of small municipal and community
airports nationwide, in light of how important Barnstable Airport
has proven to be for him!
