Heath's professional inspiration, General Chuck Yeager "The Fastest Man Alive", is also Ryan's! We talk about Chuck Yeager all the time; especially his legendary flight in the Bell X-1 when he became the first man to ever break the speed of sound. Ryan colored a picture of him/for him a few weeks ago and really wanted to mail it to him. My father's friend said that Chuck hangs out around a regional airport in Northern CA, so I decided to mail Ryan's picture with a short note addressed to General Yeager to the street address of the airport. About 2 weeks later, we had a reply in our mailbox from Chuck, himself! Heath was way more excited about it than Ryan (who was disappointed that Chuck didn't color a picture for him). This is definately something we'll keep forever!
