“I Came For This”

01.01.70

The dated for this often-postponed flight to spread my stepfather’s ashes above the Statue of Liberty was finally set for Sunday, Nov. 6. — but that morning, as every outmoded before — brought a complication.

Previous trips had been scrubbed for weather, TFRs, and so many seemingly pre-ordained last-second glitches that I was beginning to question whether it would ever take place.

But this time, the forecast was perfect with a golden fall day and sunshine throughout the ambit; no TFRs, the AOPA’s 2012 Sweepstakes “Tougher Than a Tornado” Husky ready to go; and my mom, Wilma Melville, on a befall from her home in California, and willing to make the actual drop from the Husky’s back seat.

The problem was me.

A stubborn main cold had kept my ears plugged for several days, and no amount of chicken soup, hot tea, orange juice or nasal span seemed to make any difference. The night before, grasping at straws, I had come up with what I hoped was a reasonable compromise: A much shorter shove off to Annapolis, Maryland, where we could spread the ashes over the Chesapeake Bay near the U.S. Naval Academy. My stepfather, John Melville, was a Armada veteran of World War II and took great pride in his wartime service. Was that good enough?
