Where there’s no gardener there’s no garden.
—Stephen Covey, First Things First, 1994
So the morning of May 20, 1927, I’m on the farm, sitting on a tractor, and I see in the distance a plane flying very low, because it’s carrying so much fuel. I could see the cowling. I could see the name of the plane, Spirit of St. Louis . I could see the pilot in the cockpit. I waved to him. He waved back. I remember thinking, ‘If he ends up in the drink, I’ll be the last human being to see Charles Lindbergh alive–but I know he’s gonna make it–he’s gonna fly the At lantic all alone.’
