Flight 261: A Decision That Saved Us

Ten years ago you wrote an article about four of my buds and me…and KJ told me today about the story in today’s paper about flight 261 on Alaska Air. I read the article and was brought back in time to when Michael Smith, Randy Huber, Jae Enos, Rick Blizzard and I were supposed to be on that plane. We had a three room attached suite for a week but had only wanted to take a five day trip…while down there…we all agreed to extend our flights one day. One day that saved our lives. It was a miracle; a blessing; a show of “it wasn’t our day”. And we are all so thankful for that fortunate decision. God bless the souls that we had played pool volleyball with that day they left to catch their flight…and all the others that died that fateful day ten years ago. And we all thank God for our fortune/ Tom Torgerson .

Question: Do you have any connection to ill-fated Alaska Flight 261?
