I have been involved in the ballooning world for approximately 10 years.  My best flight occurred in Grove City, OH where I flew on my birthday and the entire crowd sang Happy Birthday to me.  The funniest flight I have ever had occurred on my first solo flight, where I was almost arrested by a park ranger for a touch and go in a metro park!  Thankfully that did not happen, so I am able to be here with you at this event!
