The Operation Migration team is spending a fifth day on the ground in Kentuckiana (Washington County, Kentucky). The head wind is just too strong for the birds to make much progress, especially considering possible detours when any go astray.
I tend to invest myself in many of the stories that I cover. This was especially easy to do when I began reporting on the effort to save Whooping Cranes from extinction. When one crane became lost in Kentuckiana, I felt that I was part of the team to find it.
The national buyout numbers had been widely reported. About 35,000 hourly production workers had left the company with the incentive of a buyout from Ford. But, I have always wondered, how many of those workers had left Louisville plants?
