Traditionally in Bobsledding, we hardly hear anything about the push
athletes. But today, all of that changes on my BLOG Page. We've been
featuring both Men's and Women's Team Bobsled athletes. Today, we
hear a brief audio interview of Chico, California native Emily Azevedo.
Emily will team up with driver Bree Schaaf in the third sled entered into
the Winter Olympics--a 'first'--3 sleds!

Remembering a Trailblazer: Earl L Estwick, Sr.

by Michael Manning

Occasionally, a person of accomplishment becomes overlooked in the world

of commercial aviation. Earl L. Estwick, Sr., is one such individual. He was the

highest-ranking person of color at Pan American World Airways when assistant to

President Najeeb Halaby, who was at the helm of Pan Am from 1969 to 1972.

(Opening remarks of my tribute to the late Earl L. Estwick, Sr.)

February 2010 (Volume 16 No 12) (Issue No 168) On sale on US and
Canada newsstands from Tuesday, January 5 (27 January in the UK).

Last Saturday, I was honored to attend the birthday party of my friend

Rehabilitation workout facility about 14 months ago. Rich was recently
diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS). There is no effective treatment
for this disease, but a few weeks ago Rich underwent a revolutionary new
stem cell implant procedure that will hopefully restore motor neuron function.
Stop by my BLOG Page to learn how you can participate in a fund raising

Two years ago, I played a small role in making a couple's night very
memorable in a Ruby Tuesday restaurant in Blue Ash, Ohio. Today's
BLOG Post is dedicated to that couple, where ever they are!

Last stop for Barbara McQueen, author of the book you see above.
She's coming
to Chandler, Arizona. This is a "once in a lifetime"
opportunity to meet Barbara and
Jeb Rosebrook, writer of Steve
McQueen's 1972 film Junior Bonner.
The DVD has become a
much sought after classic and
was filmed in Prescott, Arizona. All of
this during the month of the 4th Annual
Steve McQueen Festival
with more details on my BLOG Page.

Gordon Bethune is a lot of fun and a pleasure to feature on
"The Interview". The author of The New York Times Best Selling
book, "From Worst to First" describes in a no-holds barred interview
with
me his colorful views on government interference, incompetent
executives
and how there is little imagination in the airline business
today. He also makes
a case for how ridiculous the Airbus A380 is
--in no uncertain words
on my BLOG Page. I thoroughly enjoyed
Gordon.

The REEL PAGE is changing. If you've happened by it,my November,
2007 filmed "Interview", some footage at CNN Headquarters in Atlanta,
Audio Reels and a few more sordid items have been removed. I kept a
very short TV Montage and one of 5 Radio appearances I made over two
years in Sarasota, Florida on the former WIBQ (now WSRQ) "News/Talk
Radio" 1220 AM. As more recent media becomes available, we will post
it. More changes are coming.
