George Plimpton wrote a book called "The Man in the Flying Lawn Chair" it is about Larry Walters and other people that dare to do foolish things and how it changes their lives. I was lucky enough to hear Mr. Plimpton speak back in the '80's and he told this story and others such as the fan that ran out onto the field to snatch the ball from the line of scrimmage during a Baltimore Colts football game only to get the snot knocked out of him! It is just about the wild hares that one gets to do crazy things! Not really about the guy that went up in the ballon in Oregon, kind of nuts if you ask me, but thought other might likr to know more. By the way, Larry Walker dropped his BB gun during the flight!
