Local Airman Collecting for Victims of Bowling Green Massacre
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2017 11:18 am
From the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin's regular feature, Local Cucamongans of Note:
Local airman Willy W. "Wilco" Willson, former First Officer for Air Cucamonga, had been holding a vigil for the forgotten victims of the Bowling Green Massacre outside the doors of the Walmart in Rancho Cucamonga, asking busy shoppers to "Spare a moment to remember the victims with spare change?"
Your reporter was intrigued by young Willy's vigil, stood there as he was shaking his tin cup with his pet rat Moonflower on his shoulder, alternating his pleas for remembrance and spare change with tunes on a harmonica held on a wire holder around his neck, and surreptitious pulls on a small bottle of a red liquid he described as "Mad Dog 20-20."
He asked your reporter "Wanna slug, Baby?" shaking the bottle suggestively, when she had to tell him that drinking on duty was a no-no, which it of course it very much is. That much she remembers from her time at the Columbia School of Journalism!
Two large men soon appeared to grab Willy and Moonflower and hustle them off the Walmart premises, seeming to put an end to what is just one more thing that makes Rancho Cucamonga and its residents "so very, very special."
Be sure to check tomorrow's issue for my interview with the former CEO of Air Cucamonga, now working security for our local Walmart, when he rips the lid off the Pandora's Box that is present standards for the hiring of tomorrow's pilots! It will be an in-depth look at why, as he put it, 'They don' know nothing!" so that "Yes, they a hazard to birds, too!"
