Sky King

Friday September 28, 2001

  • TITLE: "Sky King" Sky King was an early television adventure show (which was a spin-off of an earlier radio show). The Movie Database page says it was on from 1951 to 1956. It starred Kirby Grant as Sky and - this is important - Gloria Winters as his niece, Penny. They went from one adventure to another in Sky's Cessna, "The Songbird."

    Penny King, it is fair to say, was my first love. Pre-dating, even, Annette.

    Each show started with the stirring words: Out of the clear blue of the western sky comes � Sky King!

  • "� Jonathan Turley �" Click here for the Turley quote, as well as an interesting note on a quote from Winston Churchill, and a great idea for punishing The Taliban.

    Here is the link to the e-mail regarding President Bush's trip to the hospital to visit those injured in the Pentagon attack.

    Here is an e-mail sent from an ensign to his dad.

  • "� President's Trip ..." Here is a report on the lunch President Bush had with Mayor Richard Daley by the Chicago Tribune:
    After the airport speech, Bush and Mayor Daley led an entourage to the Norwood restaurant at Northwest Highway and Raven Street on Chicago's Northwest Side. When the president arrived, Sen. Walter Dudycz (R-Chicago) led a crowd of about 50 diners in singing "God Bless America," followed by chants of "U.S.A! U.S.A!"

    Before lunching on a cheeseburger and a Diet Coke, the president worked the crowd, posing for photographs and signing autographs.

    One of his signatures went to Arne Hagglund, one of 11 Chicago firefighters who volunteered to go to New York to help rescuers. Hagglund brought a photo of himself and another firefighter standing at Manhattan's ground zero, the site of the destroyed World Trade center.

    As Bush thanked Hagglund, the president reached into his coat pocket and said, "I still have my badge," holding up the shield of a New York Port Authority police officer who died in the attack -- a badge given to the president by the guard's mother and displayed by the president during his address to the nation a week ago.





    "� President's advance team �" Here were the members of the team for the Chicago Trip: Mike Heath, Steve Atkins, Ray Joiner, Brian Langly, Bob Athey, and The Lad.
