[Singles] High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

[Fred Atkinson]

Folks,

	This is one of the most inspiring poems I've ever read.

	It was written by a pilot named John Gillespie Magee, Jr. who died a 
plane crash.

	After his death, they returned his personal items to his 
parents.  Among his things, his parents found this poem that he had written.

	They shared it.  It was published.  For many years, it was used as a 
sign off for television stations.  And many pilots would hang it on 
their walls.

	It can be seen (along with a picture of John Gillespie Magee, Jr.) 
at: http://www.skygod.com/quotes/highflight.html .

	If you'd prefer to hear it recited (along with some incredible 
aerial photography with it), try this:

	I hope you enjoy it as much as I.

	Regards,
