Mission Refocus

Our 6th grader worried when our friend and neighbor asked him to introduce her oldest son at the middle school's Fleet Week presentation.

"I'm going to get the rep of that kid who announced some other guy at an assembly," Scotty told me.


Captain Russell Piggot, the Air Force's current West Coast F-16 demonstration pilot, offered a fresh spin.



"You won't be the kid who introduced another kid," said Piggot, a not-so-long-ago student at the same middle school.

"You'll be the guy who's friends with the Fighter Pilot."





Mission complete.
