 Al Malmberg spoke to Paul Dye who grew up in Minnesota, learned how to fly at the Anoka County Airport, went to the University of Minnesota to get his aeronautical engineering degree.  From there, he went to work for NASA in many capacities, including working as Flight Director for 39-shuttle missions.  Not too shabby for a kid from Minnesota!  Now, he's being inducted into the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame on April 20th.
