PROLOGUE Rarely does anyone think of his or her emotional and learning disabilities as being assets, beneficial, or that they can even be advantageous. The book, For the Love of Flight, examines the life of a young man who was raised in a struggling family that moved from town to town. This young man attended thirteen different schools before graduating from high school. (Fifteen schools including college.) Because he was enrolled in school at the age of four, he was always one to two years younger than his peers were. So during his school years, he was smaller, less mature than his classmates, and constantly the new kid in school. This made him the target of the school bullies. Add to his emotional baggage ADD (attention deficient disorder), and the subsequent bad grades; it’s no wonder that from an early age he had no self-esteem and was cast by society and himself to be a failure. But he had a dream; he wanted to fly. Little did he know that flying would be the therapy, the antidote for the baggage that he was issued and that his ADD made him a natural pilot. But the greatest challenge that he would ever face wouldn’t be the missions he flew in Vietnam or the near-fatal flights as a civilian, but his past when it comes back to haunt him. Now as an EMS (Emergency Medical Service) helicopter pilot, he must reach down deep inside himself to once again find his love of flight.
