Wallendas youth quits high wire for parachute jumper path
Steve Walenda, 17, says he will pursue parachute jumping in the airborne division, rejecting further wire performances after a family tragedy of fatal accidents. He travels to Ft. Lewis for Army training while recalling his father’s wish to avoid wire danger. In New Zealand, William Reynolds buys Sacre Waewae island after attending a friend's wedding, planning to restore its beauty. In Milan, Sophia Loren says working with Charlie Chaplin was the career highlight and she would eagerly act with him again if asked.
