For more information, visit: “I always had a strong interest in flying,” said Bill. “I was in the Navy from www.cradlefoundation.org/firstlook 1965 to 1967 as a NROTC officer stationed on a destroyer in Norfolk. I was a bachelor living on a ship, with no family or expenses, and a mess bill of around $30 a month, so I spent my wages on flying lessons at the local CONGRATULATIONS ! airport.” By the time he came out of the Navy, Bill had amassed 290 flight hours, earned two pilot’s licenses and was working on his instrument rating when he decided to put his love of flying on hold to pursue a different love. Elizabeth “Happy” Endicott was a fellow Cradle adoptee (’44) Bill had known since childhood. The two played together as kids and attended the same school, but didn’t start dating until college. They married in 1967 and settled in the Detroit suburb where they had grown up. The couple had two children and Bill pursued a career in investment research. Jump ahead to 2011. After reading about the polite and engaging young boy who always gets invited into the cockpit, Bill contacted Cradle President Julie Tye and offered to underwrite a private flying lesson for Paden. Bill had gotten back into flying a few years ago (“I had sort of for- gotten how much fun it was,” he remarked), taking lessons and learning all Dannette and Reginald Ford the current regulations.

The chance to get another Cradle baby involved was explained. “Give the child a logbook and enter the lesson in especially meaningful for him. the book.” Paden’s mom, Sharon Wilson-Taylor, called Bill to make arrangements. “I was so moved by the generosity of someone who didn’t even know Paden,” she said. On the morning of Saturday, October 1st, just a week after Paden’s sixth birthday, Sharon, her husband Dwight and Paden headed to Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling, where Windy City Flyers is based. They were met by flight instructor Charlie Hilbrant, who gave them a pre-flight lesson and walked them around the plane they’d be taking out: a four-seat, single-engine Cessna 172. Charlie, who himself had started flying at 15, let Paden take the pilot’s seat. He was impressed by Paden’s calmness and composure, despite the boy’s obvious excitement. Sharon and Dwight climbed in the back seat and took lots of pictures to document this momentous event in their son’s life. Bill Rands with the Aeronca Champion tailwheel plane he flies During the 45-minute lesson the foursome flew downtown, where they had beautiful vistas of the Chicago skyline, Lake Bill’s own logbook currently has around 700 hours.

Following is an excerpt from his message in a recent church bulletin: My adoption is the cornerstone of my life. This is my definitive experience of grace. It is the source of the overwhelming gratitude which guides my best days. It is the motivation to give back in some way. It is always about receiving and giving – the generous and courageous gift of my birthmother and the loving reception of my parents into their home and hearts. I imagine that my beginnings were in some sense problematic. But that has become the fact that has shaped a truly gifted life. In light of my adoption, it is easy to realize that everything I have and am, is begun as pure gift. I am owed nothing. And I have a responsibility to carry on as heir in honoring that which has been passed on to me. 2 The Cradle Newsletter MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, THE YEAR in Review Cradle “babies,” “alumni” or In the Winter issue of The Cradle Newsletter, we like to “adoptees” – however you take a look back on our previous fiscal year (FY11 ended choose to refer to them – are on 9/30) and share with our readers some of the year’s a wonderfully diverse, talented highlights and challenges.

  • ABSTRACT Chicken Noodle News: CNN and the Quest for Respect
    ABSTRACT Chicken Noodle News: CNN and the Quest for Respect Katy McDowall Director: Sara Stone, Ph.D. This thesis, focusing on Cable News Network, studies how cable news has changed in the past 30 years. In its infancy, CNN was a pioneer. The network proved there was a place for 24-hour news and live story coverage. More than that, CNN showed that 24-hour- news could be done cheaper than most of the era’s major networks. But time has changed cable news. As a rule, it is shallower, more expensive and more political, and must adapt to changing technologies. This thesis discusses ways CNN can regain its place in the ratings against competitors like Fox News and MSNBC, while ultimately improving cable news by sticking to its original core value: the news comes first. To accomplish this, this thesis looks at CNN’s past and present, and, based upon real examples, makes projections about the network’s (and journalism’s) future.
