I knew him as a cadet at the Air Force Academy hot air ballooning club. I was able to get his several cases of K rations and C rations for his trip. As I was originally from Maine we discussed his departure from my home state.

Once again, congrats on your attempt and ballooning enthusiasm.

Thank you, Mr. Reinhard. I enjoyed interviewing you and writing your inspiring story. Sorry about the error; I have corrected it.
