The trip to Menwith Hill was on the spur of the moment. I mentioned to 60 Minutes producer Peter Klein: have passport will travel, I just do not have the funds. Next thing I knew Trisha Sorrels from 60 Minutes was e-mailing me asking if I would go and that they would pay for the trip, wow. I said yes, so we left the next week.
Trisha flew to Las Vegas to get me because of my health; my doctor said I could go but had to have some one with me. So, Trisha got into McCaren Airport at 8:00 am, I met her and then we took a flight to Kennedy Airport, it was 10 below 0 -- oh my gosh.... thank goodness I took a really warm coat.
Then we took Delta Business Elite to Manchester England, then she hired a private taxi to take us to the Imperial Hotel in Harrogate. I was so .....exhausted but I thought I may never see the site again. We checked in -- switched rooms and I crashed, slept for it seemed hours. Trisha and the crew had to go do a shoot at the site. Later I found out that the NSA now has dogs and the British carry rifles, big ones , automatic.
That night we all went to dinner, the camera crew, Trisha and myself. Peter Klein flew in that night. Keep in mind that I'm traveling with a broken left shoulder in Pain!!! but it was so worth it. Ok, then the next day Peter Klein, all of us and the camera crew of 6 or 7 with these huge camera's, etc., went to the site.
