Dear Donny:

Imagine my fright at hearing that your flight crash-landed into the Hudson! My and your other friends' frantic calls only reaching the generic recording stating that something was wrong with this customer's service, only frightened us more.

Hearing that everyone survived with little injury did not deter us from wanting to hear your voice ourselves...to know for sure 'Donny was alright'. Calling Cindi from a payphone and me from some stranger's cell was genius: we are the alarm-sounders and disseminators of information making us able to soothe everyone's fears quickly. How silly everyone felt when we realized your cellphone sunk into the icy waters as you were gathered out of them!

Should you get a chance to thank your pilot personally, please let him know that my brother- a pilot since he was seventeen; and my former brother-in-law- an ex-fighter pilot/ex-NASA astronaut candidate/ex-commercial airline pilot/present-day construction magnate, believe he is...THE MAN!


Kisses,
M.~


When I think of what happened yesterday and I feel my heart pounding; my palms grow moist; and my eyes mist over...it is easy to be in love with your fellow Man when they rise to the heights of those who assisted as non-professional rescuers did...God bless!
