The Rest of the "Story"

I recently had a conversation with a FedEx pilot named Jim Story. Prior to FedEx he was working with Airserv flying a Twin Otter. Apparently he was having some problems with management and planned on turning in a letter of resignation but another pilot talked him out of quitting. I guess things between him and management didn't improve because shortly thereafter he was fired from AirServ. His being fired cancelled his scheduled Twin Otter flight to Wau in southern Sudan. Your daughter Nancy in the C-130 replaced his flight. She took the land mine that would have blown the light Twin Otter to smithereens and no doubt would have killed Jim. I'd be interested in hearing Nancy's side of that story.

An originality nut (mostly) for the right reasons.
