What About The Chair?
As is typical of many of these incredible moments in history, the objects that were involved in the flights became just as legendary as the person who performed them. And a great number of people were curious as to what Walters had done with the famous lawn chair that he had occupied during his flight that made headlines and changed the course of history.
The truth, which was as endearing as it was direct, was that he had given it to a young boy whose name was Jerry. This was a straightforward yet endearing revelation. It was clear that Walters had not forgotten his own experiences as a young man filled with zealous enthusiasm and aspirations that were sky high.
