"Sam, Calvin! Dinner's ready!"

But that day, he finally made up his mind to do it. I told him going around was impossible. Maybe if I hadn't said that or maybe if the wind hadn't picked up...

...then maybe he'd still be here, but I doubt it. I think he'd already made up his mind. That's what I want to remember about my brother. The day he made up his mind to fly...
...and he did.
