| FEES WAIVED FOR HERO PILOT
| Pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger III became a
| hero on Jan. 15 when he landed his commercial jetliner safely on the
| Hudson River and all passengers and crew were able to exit the craft 
| safely. Now we learn this hero pilot is one of us: a library devotee. 
| Sullenberger called Fresno State Library recently to ask for an 
| extension and waiver of overdue fees because his library book,
| checked out from his local library, had been left behind in the cargo |
hold of the plane. Library officials at Fresno State waived all fees
| and dedicated the replacement book to him.

Took me a minute to read this; interesting how some of the words got run
together...can't figure how that happened.  So I took the liberty of
separating them and making the text more readable.

Well, first, if I had just crashed in a plane, a library book would probably
be the very last thing I would think of and would probably even forget.
Guess that's a true mark of how Sully's mind works...he's not only a calm,
cool cucumber but a definite book lover.

As for the library, we can see here that they have far better sense in them
than does that cable company that kept billing a customer and demanding
return of the cable boxes even though the customer's house had been washed
away and demolished by floods and was entombing the cable boxes under a pile
of debris making them only accessible by bulldozer.

Yay for the Library!  And it would be interesting to know what the book was.
I think it was mentioned on the news, but I forgot. <Sigh>

Smile,

Lee :-)
