Media interest with the Final Flight story was intense during the months following my discovery of Glenn Munn's remains and culminated with his identification and burial in May, 2008 in his Colerain, Ohio hometown. Most print stories were picked up through syndication from the Fresno Bee, Spokane-Statesman, or San Jose Mercury-News. A few newspapers, such as the San Francisco Chronicle and Los Angeles Times also did original reporting. Local television news stations from Fresno, Seattle [my home town], and Wheeling, West Virginia, were interested in hearing about the story from my vantage point. A station in Columbus, Ohio, spoke with Dick Christian, cousin of William Gamber. |
