Pardon the deviation from the usual ... Don't know if this ever happens to you ... but I was awestruck by someone I met today:

Short Bio of Steve Saint: His father was a missionary pilot who tried to reach the Waodani Tribe in the headwaters of the Amazon. His Dad was murdered by the people he was trying to help, leaving his mother and family in Ecuador. After living for some time amongst the indigenous people he returned to the United States, became a successful businessman, a missionary pilot and started several technology companies that provide fairly advanced medical care (dentistry & optometry cheap and reliably) and practical know how. He also appears to have developed a practical flying car / STOL machine for third world use.* The Indian who killed his father now works with him and they go on the road teaching missionaries to do dental and optometry work. This facilitates their getting safely into areas that are 98% Muslim and where other missionaries have been killed.
When Hollywood wanted to make a movie of his life the missionary flying was deemed too dangerous by those with SAG cards. He did the "stunt" flying himself.
* He has non literate Indians performing root canals and prescriptive lenses. They wanted to fly his airplane, which was a non starter ... so he's developing an airplane they could safely operate ... a para-sail type thing. 3.9 seconds 0 to 60 ... I think I want one.
