Day
Survival Flight and Michigan
Administrative Information Services (MAIS) were among numerous University
units that provided activities for the children of U-M faculty and staff
during Take Your Child to Work Day, April 26. At top left, John Bullen,
flight nurse specialist, shows Trevor Merrill-Forrester and Dylan Campbell
the features of one of the Survival Flight helicopters.
Merrill-Forrester is the son of Jodi Forrester, administrative associate,
Procurement/Accounts Payable, and Campbell is the son of Robin Campbell,
financial clerk, Financial Operations.
Children, such as Nolan Ferguson (top right),
were amazed by the size of the helicopters, which were parked on one of
Survival Flight’s helipads at University Hospital. Ferguson is the
son of Robert Ferguson, occupational therapist, University Hospital.
MAIS sponsored sessions
for children on skydiving, food preparation and technology in aviation.
At bottom, Mark McManamy, technologist, demonstrates how a jump suit works
in skydiving. With arms outstretched, the suit creates a wing and allows
its wearer to maneuver through the sky. The feet also have a special
design to help users ‘fly.’ Survival Flight photos by Marcia L.
