In June, 2003 I returned to Lewisporte and was again honored to be in Lewisporte this time to speak to the Class of 2003. I presented 15 scholarships resulting from our continued fundraising efforts! Fundraising continues for this endowed scholarship - Flight 15 Scholarship Fund which is housed at The Columbus Foundation. (All photos from my 2002 trip.)

   This was an awesome trip. Jo, Dan and Silvia West and I got to see icebergs and moose, among many other wonderful things! Best of all was being able to spend time with our great "Newfie" friends.

   On September 11, 2002 and 2003, I was back with those incredible people of Lewisporte to participate in activities in memory of all those who suffered so and gave so much on 9/11/01 and in its aftermath.


(from September 11, 2002)
   In December 2001 I had the honor to present to the Lewisporte Fire Department a very special American Flag, which had been flown over the U.S. Capitol at the request of Congresswoman Deborah Pryce of Ohio along with a very touching letter from her.

   The Lewisporte Fire Department had a plaque made and installed in honor and memory of all the valiant firemen across the United States.
