He might get bad grades in arithmetic and be lousy at marbles, but Stenny knew everything there was to know about the HindenburgтАФand when the giant airship arrived in his hometown of Lakehurst, New Jersey, he was going to be there. He didnтАЩt know that before the night was over, he would learn what it means to be a hero┬а.┬а.┬а.┬а
