valerie taylor on 17 May 11"Our school was treated to a visit by Barrington Irving, the first African-American pilot to fly solo around the world, who spoke to our students during a school-wide assembly in the fall of 2008. He provided the inspiration that spurred our Principal, Jeanne Fischer, to comment to Angie Slingluff, FAA Education Coordinator, that she would love to bring a project like that to our middle school. Dan Carey, our Applied Technology Teacher (and a pilot) was also very interested in capturing this project for Begich, after hearing Barrington Irving's comments about a group of students in Hooper Bay who are building a plane."
