From LeaderFOCUS for May 21, 2001 - FLIGHT PLANS

I must tell you... this was an intensely emotional LeaderFOCUS to write.  I had heard the news, like you did, on the national television news report.  I was disturbed then.  But this week, a good friend, Debra Carreon, passed along a moving letter written by Steve Saint about his experience at the memorial service.  It got me interested and curious, and sent me out on the internet to do more research.  I trust that my re-telling of the story as I understand it touched you, as it did me.  For those of you who would like to know more, I'm attaching links to some incredible sites.

May Jim and Roni's story move you and me to higher levels of commitment.
