U.S. Soaring on the Small Screen (sort of...)
From the Dep't. of Weird Soaring Coincidences...
Wed. June, 18, 2008. - My June issue of "Soaring" arrives in the mail... - Alex Trebek "jeopardizes" soaring on TV. There I wuz, performing a quick rabbit-ears channel surf before sitting down to supper. Alex Trebek is introducing the day's 3 "Jeopardy" contestants. A contestant's name rings a dim bell in my bulb. Could it be...? Mom was right. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. The name was Lucy Anne McKosky...unique enough to hang around in a spare memory cell. Could it be the WSPA lady? Channel surfing paused... Returning from the first commercial break, Mr. Trebek looks at his notes and says, "Our next contestant just achieved a significant goal...obtaining her pilot's license. Is that correct Lucy?" Stepping out of the room a moment to snag my wife, I return to Mr. Trebek's question/statement, "I imagine a big worry for me might be wondering where I'm going to land. Is that a worry for you?" "Well...the good pilots always leave themselves an option." COWABUNGA!!! This was The Real Lucy Anne McKosky, current contact for the Women Soaring Pilots Association (WSPA). Also, acting U.S. National TV Representative for soaring! So - two soaring coincidences...or something else? Heading for the airport... Bob - pro-forma responsibilities complete - W. |
