Who I'd like to meet: I'm a big fan of Ann Tyler and have read most of her books, my favorite being Ladder of Years. It would be a thrill to meet her. I'm also a big fan of Joan Rivers. Her life story is amazing to me. Everytime she's been knocked down, she's found the strength to pick herself up and begin again.
This music video features a special free-flying Bald Eagle named 'Challenger' (in honor of the lost space shuttle crew) cared for by the non-profit American Eagle Foundation (AEF). He's a 'human socialized' bird accidentally raised by the people who rescued him - after being blown from a wild Louisiana nest in a storm as a baby in the late 1980s. Declared 'non-releasable' by federal and state wildlife authorities, he was trained by the AEF to perform educational free-flight demonstrations at high profile public events. He's the first Bald Eagle in U.S. history that learned to free-fly into stadiums, arenas and ballrooms during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. The celebrity eagle has appeared at numerous major sporting events...like the World Series, Pro-Bowl, All-Star game, BCS National Championship, Fiesta Bowl and Men's Final Four, etc. Challenger has Also flown before 4 U.S. Presidents!
His life story is told in a children's storybook titled 'Challenger, America's Favorite Eagle.' Turn on your speakers . . .
