When you first meet Medco's Executive Director, Cliff Todd, you immediately think he is a nice man. His door is always open and he has a way of welcoming everyone and making everyone feel special. Such kindness in most instances results in instant friendship, and getting to know the individual.

Such is the case with Cliff Todd. As soon as we became acquainted, we became instant friends. Once anyone visits with him at any length, and forms this kind of friendship you immediately learn that his true passion is flying.

For some time now, Cliff has been taking flying lessons from Bayou Aviation's Flight School. Co-owners of Bayou Aviation, Billy and Lari Gee both say, "There is not a nicer more genuine person than Cliff, and his desire to fly is overwhelming." Billy gave Cliff the nickname of Crash, and said , " it's something seasoned pilots do to tease new pilots. I told him his landings were nothing more than controlled crashes."

This past Friday evening Cliff was elated as he took his test for pilot, passed, and was able to achieve his dream and at last fly solo amongst well wishers at the Harrison County Airport. I'm proud of you Cliff!
