I write this on Christmas morning before all the commotion of the day begins. I just read Julie Summers Walker's article "Rubber Band Man." It stirred up many fond memories. It has been a long-standing tradition in our aviation-centered family to give flying toys to the kids on Christmas morning. Six years ago, my father, on his last Christmas, taught my grandson how to fly a rubber-band airplane (see photo, below right). My family has been heavily involved in aviation since 1928; Dad was a flight instructor much of that time and taught most of us to fly. The family says my grandson is "Dad's last student." Thanks again for the article and memories.
