FIRST PERSON: Ilan Ramon, in chance encounter: humility amid greatness & charisma
JERUSALEM (BP)--Two years ago, my daughter, Kaitlyn, and I were on a return flight to Israel from the United States. A layover in Amsterdam turned into a seven-hour delay due to mechanical problems with the plane. Vouchers for the various airport restaurants were distributed to calm the weary and irritable passengers, but by that time, the only thing open was the "snack bar." Kaitlyn and I found ourselves sharing our tiny table with a rather inebriated, but congenial gentleman from Alaska.
