Leonard Escorted to His First Flight
In our technological society, which encompasses a military that is unsurpassed by any other country, it is hard to believe that any U.S. Marine has never found himself enjoying the blessings bestowed by the Wright Brothers. However Kristy's Grandpa, Leonard, served his time with the Corps and never once had his feet leave the good earth. Through his life he has seen some of the most wonderful parts of this country and did so never once using any form of flying transportation. He resolved that at his age he would never have to. He also never counted on having a heart condition that would require his immediate transportation to a heart care center.
So with much hesitation, but with lots of prayers and faith, Leonard was able to see a part of his town that he had never seen, the top of it. Leonard reported that he saw many places he recognized as he flew over Sidney, including his very own home. He arrived safely in the care of Lima Memorial Hospital where he was provided perfect care of his weary heart. In no time at all he was back in Sidney but returned not in a helicopter, but in a car, of course.
This serves as a great lesson that we are never to old or to late to experience something new.
Leonard is recovering well and will continue to bless our lives for many years to come.
