Good-will trip


Frederick residents Willem and Alice Meiners recently described to members of the Kiwanis Club of Suburban Frederick their experiences of flying around the world in a helicopter. From the arctic to the southern tip of South America, the logistics of completing these flights was daunting. Next trip will be around the world with the help of super tankers as mid-ocean refueling platforms. Underlying these undertakings is the real purpose of the trips — spreading good will by the delivery of 1 million new friends worldwide.
