Janice and Keith
April 30, 2009 -- "I just wanted to send a long overdue note to say what a positive experience my balloon flight was in June of 2007 from the Taneytown launch site. It was a proposal flight and of course she said yes, but the whole thing was just top notch and it was everything that I wanted it to be. We are now married (11/08) and living in our new house and we think of that flight often."
