THE GOODYEAR BLIMP

If you had not yet heard, Keith has taken a new job as airport manager of the New River Valley Airport. During his first official week on the job, he had to find a place to park the Goodyear blimp, safely organize 4,200 schools kids to tour the blimp, make arrangements for the 6,000+ members of the public that came out to visit the blimp, all the while trying to maintain his own sanity. Well, in the end it was a successful event. Papa Holt came out to help as a volunteer and he quickly became the talk of the airport. After meeting several new friends, and helping to re-elect one town council member (and member of the airport commission) he has cemented a permanent invite to become an airport bum any time he wants! Keith and Natasha were able to secure a ride in the blimp. For sure a once in a lifetime (or first week on the new job) event.
