We all know Captain Sullenberger for his heroism in skillfully gliding US Airways Flight 1549 onto the Hudson River, saving the lives of all the passengers aboard.  Highest Duty, on sale in October of 2009 is his inspirational autobiography, with his thoughts on family, leadership, responsibility and service. 

Also, here is Kayleigh’s earlier post which includes a video of Captain Sullenberger talking about book amnesty at the San Francisco Public Library:

Please make sure you remember Highest Duty in October.  I’m sure you will agree that he is truly a hero and an inspiration to us all.

Enjoy!

Sully Talks About Book Amnesty at Library

Images I just had to share this.  Yesterday Gawker posted a video of Captain Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger talking about book amnesty at the San Francisco Public Library.  They wrote: "In case there was any doubt he's a walking angel among us, Chesley Sullenberger has done penance for being overdue on a library book stuck in that plane he safely landed on the Hudson River." That same angel is, as you know, publishing two books with William Morrow.  Check out the video and get ready for Sully's publishing debut!

Better Late than Never!

PH2009041502062This might be, quite possibly, the latest book to be returned to a US library.  A book that was missing since the Civil War was finally returned to the college to which it belonged.  Check out the incredible story here. I can’t even imagine the late fees on this one…
