He could scarcely typewrite for bO seconds without making a mistake, but when he got Into aviation he managed to fly 1,000 hours with-out with-out an accident. Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant i of the American Legion, was so impressed with this record that, after turning down dozens of offers to ride, he took his first flight with Vance while touring tour-ing the country in Montana. Vance hud returned from his airplane honeymoon, honey-moon, which he devised as a means of avoiding old shoes and rice, and which his bride thought was "too thrilling for words." When Vance got out of the service, he found himself in Texas. Not being be-ing entirely decided on the best place to live, he stepped Into a plane and started "north." When he arrived over Montana he looked down and thought the country looked good. So he landed, land-ed, and he Is in Miles City, where he runs an airplane company. Doctors, and even horse doctors, patronize his taxi service to make their long calls Montana miles being among the longest long-est In the world. Vance always makes it a point to fly to conventions of the American Legion. |
