He did go up a few times, but after a time he realized he needed to wait
until he could go the rest of the way and finish.

After getting hitched last year, and being done with his college, he went
the rest of the way to soloing yesterday. *I could not be more proud.

Congratulations, to Patrick.

Congratulations to the lad.

I can't imagine much that would delight me more than any of my kids
successfully taking up flying.

Thanks all, for your words. *I'll pass them along. :-))

I surprised my father by calling him from the local airport and come on
out. He was thrilled. He was a AAC flight instructor in the war, but we
never had a plane while I was growing up.
