The Girl


   My daughter, in my helicopter ditching course? Credit coincidence, nerve and generosity: I had positioned myself in Nova Scotia to take the course for my article. My daughter was flying into Halifax from Mexico to meet me. Adventurer that she is, she also wanted to take the crash course.



   I hadn’t thought it appropriate to ask the company owner if she could come, but when he mentioned having invited the 80-something dad of a participant to suit up, I took the plunge. “Sure,” the owner replied to my request. I casually blew my daughter’s mind with the news after I picked her up at the airport.
