Chesley Bernard (Bernie, as we classmates called him) Sullenberger returned to our alma mater to receive the Jabara Award for flight safety. He's shown here reviewing the Cadet Wing at a parade held in his honor. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade. He's a national hero and recently signed a multi-million dollar book deal with Harper Collins to tell his life story - not bad for a guy who essentially lost his retirement due to the bankruptcy of US Airways. But you know what? I still wouldn't trade places with him. Riding an Airbus 320 into the Hudson River is not how I'd want to ensure my future. Congrats once again to "Sully".
