THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY. JULY 21. 1993. People Family, friends and neighbours helped Wallace and Jean Bell cele- brate their 40th wedding anniver- sary at a special dinner in their honour at the Wingham Golf and Curling Club, Saturday evening.

Wallace and Jean were married at Teeswater United Church on July 18, 1943. The bride was the former Jean Pennington. They resided in Morris Twp. for many years before moving to Brussels. Jean worked for many years at The Old Mill and is now a employed as the "Sears lady". Wallace was employed at Radfords, then later at Donegan's Haulage.

Neighbour Hank Ten Pas dropped by to sample the lemonade and get the free cookies that were a bonus. Ready for lift off Carla Freeman, formerly of Brussels has her hot air balloon ready for flight at the conservation dam. Mrs. Freeman is one of only five women in Canada to earn a pilot's license for a balloon. Former resident flying high By Janice Becker Carla Freeman, a former Brussels resident has taken up an exciting yet sometimes dangerous hobby, hot air ballooning. After reading about the adven- tures of the first London man to obtain his balloon pilot's license 14 years ago, the young Carla Knight became interested in the sport. She eventually met the man, Rob Free- man who took her for a ride in his balloon. She was hooked on both. She and Rob Freeman married one year after their meeting. Mrs. Freeman is only the fifth Canadian female to earn her pilot's license. Now into her second year of fly- ing, Mrs. Carla Freeman has recently experienced some of the danger involved in hot air balloon- ing. "It started as a beautiful summer evening that almost ended in disas- ter," she says. She says, "I was flying my bal- loon for about an hour and had just gotten over London. I was directly over the transmitter station when the balloon changed direction and started heading back to London." Before she knew what was hap- pening, Mrs Freeman says, "The balloon got caught in a violent wind funnel. We were being spun in a hundred foot arc, at 60 miles per hour." At one point, at a height of 800 feet, the balloon was completely horizontal and she feared they would fall out, Mrs. Freeman says. As she heard the spectators screaming, Mrs. Freeman kept blasting the balloon with hot air to keep it from completely collapsing and crashing into, the transmitter below, she says. After obtaining emergency clear- ance from the airport, so air traffic would stay away, Mrs. Freeman was able to make the balloon climb 1,000 feet through the clouds to a height of 4,500 feet. With little fuel left Mrs. Freeman says she was able to land the craft gently in a hayfield. Her mother, Mrs. Dona Knight of Brussels says, "Everyone was shak- en up but, they were alright. Mrs. Freeman is the daughter of Jim and Dona Knight of Brussels. Her family has been involved in flying for several years. Her father was a fixed-wing pilot for 40 years and her godfather built open-pit planes. She will be flying in the London Hot Air Balloon Festival, held from July 29 to Aug. 2 at Harris Park. This year Mrs. Freeman will be helping to organize the event as well as participate for the second year.
