Denison, Texas, birthplace of:
…Dwight Eisenhower, 34th President of the US
…John Hillerman, who played Sergeant Major Higgins on Magnum, P.I.
…”Sully” Sullenberger, aviation hero
He seems like such a class act! I hope he is able to maintain it as he is besieged by the media and opportunity. It’s been a year and it doesn’t seem like any of the adulation has died. Watching the video I was just totally overcome how calm he was! I would have been crying! When you hear him on interviews he always credits his training which I think is wonderful.
When I was a kid I visited Eisenhower’s birthplace in Denison, TX. Of course Ike’s family moved to Abilene, KS, and few people now associate Eisenhower with Texas. Sully is remembered fondly by his hometown…
