(Editorial note: Airplane pilot Gene Meade from Casar spent much of his career teaching people to fly planes. Although retired from instructing, Meade said he flies for fun now, but said he was interested recently to read a story by Susan Hewitt, a former flight student from 1979. Susan, who lives in the Six Points area, wrote her own story about flying out of the Polkville grass strip in a Piper Cub under the instruction of Meade. Susan said she flew about 10 years after receiving her pilot's license, but gave up flying when her baby daughter was born. Susan writes her story).
