I had the pleasure of meeting Matthew on my flight from Chicago to Oakland today. Matthew is a balloon artist at the young age of 14. Matthew has had the honor of making his balloon art at a Notre Dame Football game, at Festivals, a Chicago Cubs game and even some balloon art for Chicago's Mayor Daley. Today on our flight, Matthew made a sword for a young man named Gavin; he made each of the Flight Attendants a bug bracelet and a flower bracelet; and then he made us a Duck Mascot whom he named Freddie. When Matthew came on the flight he was wearing a penguin hat! Matthew's mother even got into the act by making the Pilots a SWA airplane! 🙂 This flight was a lot of fun!
