Sully, the hero pilot, is a reader: FRESNO, Calif. (Feb. 3) - Hero pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger is every librarian's hero, too. The US Airways pilot splash landed his jetliner in the Hudson River on Jan. 15, and everyone on board escaped safely. But left in the cargo hold was a book Sullenberger had checked out from California State University, Fresno, through his local library near Danville. I'm unaccountably pleased by this. It's not just us book geeks that never go anywhere without a book to read. Parenthetically, beloved husband and I feel especially connected to Sully, because he was at the Air Force Academy at the same time as beloved husband. Let me hastily point out, with double parentheses, that I was in grade school at the time.  |

The library really shouldn't have any trouble finding the next two books. They're easily available from Penguin or from any of the big distributors. Ask them one more time, and then let me know if they say no. I'll just call them on the phone! :-) The link to your photo didn't work. Can you try again? |
