What would you do if you had all the money in the world and a lifetime to spend it? Kermit Weeks realized early on that for him, the sky's the limit. 

As a young man, he built and flew his own airplanes. For him, there was never a question that his life would revolve around aviation.

Today, he owns an airplane museum but only recently discovered his true life's purpose -- helping other people find and pursue their passions.

     I have met Kermit at Fantasy Of Flight. He is an amazing man.He made a place for our remote control pilots to come out and fly at his big Roar and Soar event.
    What a nice guy he is and down to earth. He even flew some of the remote control planes.
    He had a blast on the flight line.I'm glad you guys did a story on Kermit, He is one in a million!

     Very good story and very true.  It is wonderful when one makes new discoveries about our purpose no matter what your age.   Also never to old to start something new like learning  to play the piano.
