Huge props to Norm Mineta. I originally posted this back in 2014 and never updated it during my site revamp. You’ll find my brief post under the Mercury News Article.
From 2014:
I was flying into San Jose Norm Mineta Airport yesterday. At the gate waiting to board the American Eagle plane I had just landed in was . . . Norm Mineta!
Mr. Mineta is a stone cold hero in my book, and I still didn’t get a snap. How cool is it to see the man in his own airport. On September 11th, 2001, Secretary of Transportation Mineta (the only Democrat in the Bush cabinet) proved his mettle and did his duty, stopping air traffic in its tracks. He bore the responsibility. God bless Norm Mineta.
