I began flying in the days when FSS were scattered all across the

I've heard that there were Flight Service Stations at virtually every
medium-or-better-sized airport in America at one time. True? I
know Iowa City had one.


Back in 1969, there was even one at Bryce Canyon. In a trailer next
to the big old barn hangar.

I know because I flew into there with clenched cheeks from a case of
food poisoning I'd given myself by eating a 3-day old roast beef
sandwich at Kanab. The faxt I'd made a bad mistake hit me as I was
passing Zion Canyon on my way from St. George. I spent about two hours
in their john.

Those guys were saints.

(That's a joke for Mr. Campbell.)
